Also, in my opinion, coming back with the witty replies posted here will only encourage him as he will think you are playing along with his jokes.
Yes, Gerald you are right, I just wanted to avoid a one on one confroatation, I'm **** at confronting people!! Oh, well, practise makes perfect.

Yeah, maybe he doens't get it as I joke too much!! one of the guys.....
