Angelinos, not in their best light

She said: One of my least favorite things in the world.... and it happens a lot more in LA than anywhere else I've lived: When walking on the street, crossing paths with a man (or men) who offer their thoughts on your physique or their availability just at that moment when you're passing them -- so you have no time to respond. 

Yesterday?  Two such men, crossing 3rd St. in downtown LA. Man one: "Bounce." Man two: "hey baby, I'm up for adoption."

Wow... "Bounce". Question... and maybe a silly one. Was Bounce directed at you? Or was it a comment to the other guy so he can have space to make his comment at you?

Apparently I had other squishy things. I assumed the "bounce" comment was directed at me but I like the idea that it might not have been. But now I feel double-teamed. My next question is: what would the right response be?

How about:

If your mother didn't want you, whyever do you think I would?

Oooooh, that one's good. Now I'm not sure if I should be looking forward to the opportunity to test it out... or not!
