Devastating Put-DownsAmorous 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)

One of the brass bands I played in had a fussy little twitas MD.
We were playing a piece called 'Carillon', by Sky - not sure of they wrote it though.
The percussionist comes in with a simple little run round the tom-toms. 4 semiquavers, 2 quavers and whack the cymbal. Job done. For some reason this guy had a fetish about exactly the volume this was played at. He kept going back again and again, 'louder' . . 'softer' . . . 'no, not that loud' . . 'nearly, but a bit softer' . . etc.
After maybe 15 minutes of this we were all piss bored. I was so bored, the next time he asked for it louder I turned my sticks round, and using both fat ends together, hit the drums so hard the E flat bass player in front of me fell out of his seat.
'Well, obviously someone is losing interest here. Perhaps it's a good time to break for tea'.
