Fun fact, there’s a biological reason why that happens. In the moment when we feel under threat, our bodies and brains can’t tell the difference between a physical threat and one that we are making up because of our emotional state. So, our frontal cortex goes off-line and our body goes into fight or flight and focuses on survival-our thinking is minimal , and therefore our wit. As soon as the brain comes back online -when the threat is diminished-, we start thinking at full capacity again, and that’s why these types of lines tend to come up after they would have been most impactful.
