Not responding if you can. If you have to answer, try something that will make others laugh without being mean or rude. This usually helps.
Example:
Person: Those of us that have a degree understand the advantages.
You: I know, I probably should have gone to college, but I guess the 4 years seniority here is not so bad. Good luck

talk very eloquently, no slang, no conjunctions, and speak only of what you know well. dont force a conversation about something you know little or nothing about. if the conversation floats that way, thn bring it back by saying well i'm not too familiar with that but i do know...... and just seem calm yet humble

I usually look at them straight in the eyes and say 'ya I know.' Let them figure out what they're saying. I don't say it rudely, but I'm pretty firm on the response.

Give them a goofy answer.Anyone can jump to conclusions, so maybe you need to ask them why they think you are stupid,then set them straight....

Silence. If you open your mouth, then you will remove all doubt.
