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)

There're some really strange comments there, from people apparently falling over themselves to defend positions that even the tobacco industry has abandoned. One even claims that there's a study showing that passive smoking in childhood protects against cancer. (I checked: the paper is old, seems to be an outlier, and doesn't say anything like that anyway.)
EDIT: Several people have pointed out that the claim I make about pleasure is debateable: there're lots of things that become pleasurable only with exposure (good whisky, for example), but that doesn't mean that they aren't really pleasurable. This is a good point, but I don't think it matters all that much: my rejection of Lyons' piece still stands.

It's the fact that you didn't post the link until the 19th reply that concerns me.
& only when you were asked to.
