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)

Every office has a loudmouth. In many, it's a woman. In mine, it's a man.
He's a big man, a Jehovah's Witness, and he holds forth loudly on any subject he feels falls within his areas of expertise, vis, everything. Because I'm the youngest bloke in the office, and therefore a representative of the 'Yoof of today' I'm often the target of his ire. To get any work done, I often find myself having to put in the headphones, just to block him out. One day, he took offense at this.
"Oi, Uni, I'm talking to you!"
"I can't hear you, Roger. It's awesome."
