I would of went with something like... "Swinging a hammer at my crotch doesn't mean that I will hit myself in the balls, there are a hundred different possible results that could cause that not to happen.  Still given the choice I would avoid swinging a hammer at my crotch."

Yeah, that would have been one way to go. I was just at such a loss after hearing someone actually say, "Making the making of things more expensive doesn't necessarily make things more expensive," that the only thing that came to mind was to encourage him to attempt to conceive a child with himself.

The funny thing these people are ignoring is the actual increase itself. If it were a measily $0.25 (like it was 2 years ago in Illinois) then okay, maybe businesses would eat that. But this is an extra $1.50! A near 20% increase! That's huge!
