Witty Put-Downs

You’re definitely on the same salary and bonus as everyone else.

USA October 1988. The Vice-Presidential debate - Bensten Quayle:
QUAYLE: “I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency.”
BENTSEN: “Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy.”

Did you just say that or were you imitating an idiot.

I remember my late Godfather, who was a senior RAF officer, telling me that he saw a appraisal of a junior officer. It said: " This officer has spent his whole career pushing doors that said pull on them".

I believe that was Eddo Brandes to Glenn McGrath. Another was:

"After Glen McGrath’s wife Jane was diagnosed with breast cancer, Australia were hosting a Test against the Windies.

The circumstances didn’t deter McGrath from verbally tormenting Sarwan at the crease:

“Sarwan, what does Brian Lara’s d**k taste like?” the Aussie asked. “Why don’t you ask your wife?” Sarwan responded.

“If you ever mention my wife again I’ll rip your f**king throat out,” McGrath threw back".

Labour won the first Brittish election after WWII. A few months later Winston Churchill was relieving himself in the Parlament men’s room when his successor, Clement Atlee, walked in. Churchill moved away and turned his back to Atlee whereapon Atlee commented ’Winston, you seem to be very stand-offish today’.
Churchill’s reply - ’It’s just that whenever you see something big you want to nationalise it’.

Man to woman: Would you sleep with me for one million dollars?
Woman: Sure.
Man: How about for ten dollars?
Woman: What do you think I am?
Man: We’ve already established what you are. All we’re doing now is working out the price.

“Tell me, as a complete outsider, what is your opinion of the human race?”

I used that at work. He didn’t speak to me for two years. Which was nice. I think I acquired it from a similar thread on the old forum.
