This is a question Devastating Put-Downs

Amorous Badger says: I once saw a former manager of mine being asked to 'sit down and let your mouth have a chance to speak' by his senior. What's the best heckle/putdown/riposte you've ever seen? (Hint: Recycled 'Your mum' jokes does not make an answer)

He had low self esteem anyway.
A few years ago my place of employment had a few events to raise money for Children in need. All of them were poorly thought out and had minimal entertainment value, but one had a cash prize associated with it so I thought for the sake of a quid to charity if I lost, I'd give it a shot.

The idea was, a number of members of staff had brought in photos of themselves as children and we had to guess who was who. Some were obvious, the rest of the boxes that needed completing were just randomly filled in with the remaining selections from the list of names.

With 5 O'Clock looming, the (rather portly) MD stood in front of the office and proudly announced the paltry sum raised in front of the office, before announcing the people who had won various prizes in the competitions.

He got to the competition I had entered, and decided to draw attention to my answers. He told the whole office that I clearly didn't pay attention as I had put his name next to a picture of what was quite evidently a young girl, wearing a training bra.

I don't like people trying to humiliate me, so in front of absolutely everyone responded with "To be fair, I thought that there was a real possibility that you had tits back then too."

He was upset, yet somehow, I still work there.
