A local runner yesterday found the perfect retort to a motorist who heckled him, Dumb Runner has learned.
Andrew Neufeld, 32, landed on the witty response at 11:40 p.m., in his bed, while struggling to fall asleep. The heckling had occurred nearly 16 hours earlier, during Neufeld’s morning run.
Sources said the mocking remarks, shouted by a passing driver, related to Neufeld’s attire, which included high compression socks and 2-inch inseam shorts. The driver sped off before Neufeld had a chance to reply.
Neufeld, an avid runner training for his first marathon, reportedly spent the remainder of the run fuming about the incident—a preoccupation that extended, off and on, through the rest of his day as he showered post-run, went to work, ate dinner, and, finally, went to bed.
The comeback came to Neufeld as he lay in bed staring at his ceiling, sources said.
“Oh, that’s good,” Neufeld said, according to the sources, who added that Neufeld imagined himself delivering the line to the motorist, to devastating effect.
Neufeld, who fell asleep moments later, could not be reached for comment.
