This is a question 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)

Oh dear oh dear oh dear....
In the office car park earlier, one of the women workers was parking up in her special car. Nout unusual about that in itself, but she is rather heavily crippled (some kind of nasty spinal disorder) and not really a nice person to boot.

So she parked up, slid herself into her electric chair that's still in her car (it's a big people-carrying thing modified for her) and positions herself on the lift, getting slowly lowered down to the ground. While she's sitting there waiting for this, some other worker is walking towards the main doors and his mobile happens to go off, playing an old tune which makes her look completely down-trodden, even though the tune itself is completely harmless but just fitted the moment perfectly.

Why is this a devastating put-down then? It was this piece of classic music no less.

I name that tune in none!
Nothing else would have worked quite so well. I like to think when I am infirm I will have a sense of humour about such things. In truth probably less so.

That's funny
I didn't even need to hear the tune as soon as I saw what you linked to, but...
...I got really weirded out when the random youtube advert had Superman complete with music. Total brain meltdown.
