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)

Trust.
My mum & I didn't have the best relationship. She pretty much lied to me for 20 years about who my father was.
After she'd told me (on her 50th birthday - I'd taken her to lunch) she just couldn't understand that I had no trust in her whatsoever. EDIT: I should say that in growing up I gave her plenty of reasons to both trust & dis-trust me.
Years later whilst arguing about "trust" in general she commented that she "wouldn't trust me to tie my own shoelaces correctly" , I came back with - "I wouldn't trust you with my up-bringing!"
She paused, smiled in a sweet way that only a parent can when looking at their kid and said
"Well I didn't fail completely then did I?"

that's messed up.
so, who's your daddy? and why the secrecy? was he a soviet-era spy or something?

Nope. Just left his wife (and baby son) to be with my mum.
She caught him several months later with her best friend - she should've expected it really. He went back to his missus (I've got loads of half sibbies - & that's just the 1's we know about let alone the other bastards like me!).
I think she didn't tell me 'cause she was afraid of being judged - bit silly really because as "the other woman" she was a bit of a failure.
I guess after that she just found it easier to be single really.
So. Who is your daddy?
;P
EDIT: All ^ that or I'm Zowie Bowie...

Was I bawling?
Did you notice tears trickling down my cheeks?
"Go back to watching the television. Lest you mistake the real world for something you just watched." - Me. Just now.
