Have you ever edited your response after someone replied to it?
To make them look clueless, or because you thought it was funny…? Examples please!

No..
I usually denote my edits with edit :: explanation
I will fix spelling and grammar without noting it. But I will always give an explanation if the content is changed enough to have a different meaning.
I’ve never done it, but I have seen others change their posts.
I have a habit of editing and editing to refine my statement. I’m not a very good writer, and I find that I tend to speak in incomplete thoughts.
I would never, however, do it with the intent to make someone look like an idiot.
i haven’t. i don’t usually get the chance ;-)
that makes me wonder: what’s the expiration date on the “edit” button. I know that at first it’s there, and then it goes away…what’s the deal?
Never done it intentionally. I try to apply same approach as johnpowell, although sometimes it ends up just being an extra paragraph or an inserted sentence.
@la_chica.: I think the time-limit is 5 minutes.
The time limit is five minutes. But you can click the edit button at four minutes and 59 seconds and edit as long as you need to.
Nope. And when I edit my replies, I make a note of it so people know it was edited.
When the error is typo, sometimes.
