One time someone complimented my hair and I impulsively decided to use the old joke, "Thanks, I grew it myself!" and they didn't laugh and the rest of the encounter was 10x more awkward than it needed to be. >_<

Oof dang, that's funny though. Oh well, can't please everyone

Yeah, I legit laughed out loud at this. It was a good joke

You could try: "thank you but it's not for sale" next time.
