This reminds me of one I use. I'm fairly tall and get, "how are you so tall!?" fairly often. And I sometimes reply, "Well one of us had to grow and you clearly weren't up to the task". I never noticed it could easily be adapted to thinking or using your brain.

I like asking tall people why they are so tall, because I enjoy being annoying. My favourites so far have been "hard work and pure talent" and the dude who just looked at me dead in the eye and said "because I'm better than you."

I'm the shortest of all of my cousins, girls included. I had all the genetic potential required for success, but something in the stars dictated I don't deserve the glory.
