A long time ago I read about a response that can be used in almost any context if someone asks an intrusive queston or makes a rude statement.
Simply say, "What an extraordinary question!" or "What an extraordinary remark!"
It's polite; it's direct; it shuts most people up.
Worth a try with your BiL?
