quick-witted: to be able to reply in a clever or funny way without thinking for a long time

-----------------------------

I know, I know, "Haste makes waste" and waste tastes awful.

But there are people IRL who are not only witty and funny, but also quick in responding.  I had such co-workers while working at Nortel  (sadly non-existing now) and Cisco, they were very knowledgeable, sharp, quick-witted and even kind.

Similar in the virtual world, like the Canadian financial wisdom forum and local reddit where I am a member and frequent. In WXC forums, I also see some quick-witted people and became net-friends with some.

Of course, no one, even "God" himself, is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes time to time.  But to me,  it's these imperfect but quick-witted people make the world a more interesting place to be. So kudos to them, and to you!

Have a good Wednesday!
