Devastating Put-DownsAmorous 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)

Yes he could!There was a great story doing the rounds at a publishing company I worked for a few years ago which may end up being an urban myth.
In the end of year management meeting, the MD was asking the group for their ideas for the year ahead to help save costs and increase profits.
One of editors, Nick (who was disliked by the group for his maverick style) suggested they close one of the publications because it was dated and no longer relevant. This caused a lot of unrest in the meeting because his suggestion would results in many redundancies, including a number of his peers in the room.
The MD was not amused and said: "Christ Nick, could you have said anything more controversial?"
To which Nick replied: "Yes, you're a cunt, how's that?"
