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)

Had to sit a test for an interview very very recently (ie last week)
for a position in a new team in out Department. Sat the first test which was a bastard, but answered what I can.

A few days later a few people with a few unexpected names get offered the job, but not I (although there was another team following them up a few weeks later and it looked likely I'd made that team).

A few days after that test however one of the managers who was meant to be manning this new venture was suddenly suspended pending an enquiry and me and a select few were made to re-sit a different test. Turned out that he'd hand-picked a few select members of staff already and gave these select few all the answers so he'd have the best team possible. Except he got caught.

With the new Business clients in the office this week who are overseeing this new team and all the egg-shell walking that the current senior management are doing to avoid having to talk about the suspension going on, I guess when I was asked about if I was prepared for the 2nd test and me replying "Well there was no way I was going to pay for two sets of answers, you can fuck right off" in front of the aforementioned client was probably not a good move in retrospect. Oh well, there's always cleaning the bogs I suppose (most probs get paid more for that).
