My sister has been happily married for 25 years to a guy with one of the quickest wits I have ever met. Here is just a sample:

He, a buddy of his and my sister are walking down the street one day when they spot a dog lying in the sun licking himself in the usual places. The buddy spots the dog and for no apparent reason blurts out "man, I wish I could do that!" My BIL rejoions equally quickly "go ahead, he won't mind."

Ever had a flash of inspiration afterwards where you wished you had said it back then? One from my long gone Mother -

"Turn back, turn back, time in thy flight! I thought of the line I needed last night ..."

You guys need to find your buddy a girlfriend. Or a dog.

Hm, I always heard it as "well, I think you'd better pet him first..."

I don't think it's necessarily quick witted as it is able to remember lines from others' experiences. I have a friend I who, 35 years ago, had a St. Bernard that was doing that while a buddy was visiting. My friend did the "I wish I could do that" thing, and his friend said, "go ahead, it's your dog."

There are no new jokes.
