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)

I just can't help myself.
Part of my job entails going to trade shows and the like to see new motorcycling garb and wonderment. Quite often, this will involve the draping of some young tart over said motorcycle. This is usually not a bad thing. However, sometimes the young lady in question can be a tad acerbic, what with fancying themselves a bit much.
I get on with most of them, finding that striking up a normal conversation removed from the realms of 'Phoooer' and the like usually gets you a real person to talk to. Sometimes though, they can be a little up their own arse for my liking.
Looking at a nice Suzuki (no sniggering at the back there,) which had one of the obnoxious brolly girls reclined on the top, I piped up, in front of all the gawpers,
"Mind if I take a picture?"
"Of course not!" was the reply, accompanied by a pout that would make Lesley Ash blush. As she re-arranged her legs a la Sharon Stone, I said;
"No no, a picture of the bike please." while indicating she should fuck right off it.
She was a bit put out.
Sometimes, the girls can be nice people too, for example, in Milan the other week, two Playboy bunnies were taking a lunch break, only to be accosted by every greasy man- one hand in pocket- wanting to have their picture taken hugging them both. Bless 'em, they were very patient about it, just glancing at each other with that sly knowing grin. I couldn't resist giving them a bit of a break and asked if they would mind, while holding my camera up.
*resigned smile* "No, go ahead!"
So I passed them my camera, and had a photo of my colleague and myself taken by them, grinning like loons at the joke.

Hmmmm, (Homer style)
passive-aggressive. That would explain the rain, yes no?

Silly.
Clouds explain rain.
Passive-aggressive explains deliberately asking people employed specifically to be around and get photographed to move out of the way for your photograph.

"girls can be nice people too"
What are you, some sort of radical feminist?

It's twoo it's twoo.
I dislike the objectification of the lovely lady form, but as lovely as the female form is, I can't stand an 'I'm better than you so I can't talk to you' attitude. Hence a story from both sides of the fence so to speak.
But women are generally bloody lovely.
