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)

Well, I thought it was funny...
Many years ago I was a trainee manager in a pottery factory. My immediate manager 'Steve' was something of a Scrooge, with no fashion-sense. He drove a Lada, maintained a comb-over, and wore clothes that had seen many, many washes - especially knitwear, which had lost its elasticity and hung limply from his fairly corpulent form. All of this conspired to make him a figure of some ridicule... behind his back.
He was distantly related to the canteen supervisor so received preferential treatment in the staff canteen. One day, he returned from the serving hatch carrying a particularly generous portion of Manchester tart and custard.
"Bloody Hell, Steve," said the works manager, "you must be hungry."
"No," I interjected, "he's trying to grow into his cardigan."
The entire room erupted into laughter, except for one, chubby, bitter bloke with a comb-over, who went on to ensure the remainder of my time with him as my manager was somewhat less enjoyable.
