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)

Fast climber...
Me, many years ago, young and fresh faced was in a meeting which had been called to back slap a go-getter, fast climber up the corporate ladder. Also in attendance was a typical grumpy old techie, close to retirement, fed up with the company, but a nice bloke to work with.
A 2nd line manager in this meeting asked how golden boy would advise people best spend their time if they wanted to replicate his rapid success. It was at this point that the old techie stopped contemplating his fingers lifted his head and sighed:
"On their knees I expect."
