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)

Vietnam War
My father was in the Royal Navy in the mid to late 1960's, and was once on shore leave in The Phillipines when him and his mates found themselves drinking in a bar with a load of loudmouth American Marines on RnR from Vietnam. The conversation inevitably got to the war and one of the marines asked "how come the British arent involved in Vietnam?". Quick as a flash one of the sailors piped up "its because the Viet Cong are doing fine by themselves". Needless to say there then followed a second of silence whilst these meatheads grasped what had actually been said by which time my Dad and his mates had legged it.

My dad did this in an American Legion bar in Florida in the late '70s
Apparently the yank paused for 60 seconds then said "Gee, that was funny!"

No sense of irony or humour these sceptics, they can dish it out but cant take it.
