Rephrasing sentences

[angelsrolls]

A: She's driving me bananas, Marty.
B: For you, bananas is not a long drive.

How do you rephrase these sentences? More specifically, if the first sentence was "she makes me crazy, Marty", what would the second one be like?

B is a joke. You would use a joke like this only with someone you were very close to, someone you were certain would not be offended. It insultingly suggests that the person who said A is already pretty close to crazy.

"She makes me crazy, Marty" I suspect is dialect that would be heard mainly in the New York city area. The joke could still be made: "You're already half-crazy."

Here you have to rephrase option b sentences.

Why do you think only Sentence B has to be rephrased? The OP asked how to rephrase "these sentences".
