Does anyone know of a good zinger to silence critics?

What do you say to rude comments about WLS from strangers, I mean people who you don't care about and have no interest in educating them about your problem? I was at a neighbor's get-together this weekend. I knew most of the people at this party, and many of them have been supportive of my decision to have WLS. One friend was telling a man in a positive manner that I was going to be having WLS. He was an...um...unpleasantly PLUMP gentleman, old enough to know better, and I'd never seen him before. He looked at me and said loudly "Well, I guess you're one of those wimps who's going to take the EASY way out!", in a very obnoxious manner that silenced the room. I just looked at him, rolled my eyes and replied "Well, obviously whatever you're doing isn't working." People started laughing and I walked away, pretending to be laughing too. But inside, I was (and still am) fuming. How do you stop a not-so-well meaning stranger? Thanks, Mea
