Churchill was amazingly snark gifted, and one of the best was this exchange with Mr Wilde..
Dear Mr Churchill - Here are two tickets to the premier performance of my play; bring a friend, should you have one.
to which he replied..
Dear Mr Wilde
I regret I am unable to attend your performance on that day due to a prior engagement, but will attend the second performance; should there be one. _________________ .ssS! |

Churchill was a master of the quip.
I will poorly paraphrase one of his, which is one of my favorites.
Miss, you are ugly.
Sir, you are drunk.
Yes mam, but in the morning I will be sober. _________________ nothing |

It’s ok long as it remains civil my favorite though the ones that ask a question and get a truthful answer then disregard. Like “what do you mean I can’t use a bunch of cheap chinese shit and make it work? “ But there is some damn fine knowledge here so it balances out and keeps us coming back I renewed my little gold star just yesterday so I can support all of this Tomfoolery. |

Better to remain silent and let people think you're stupid than to open your mouth and erase all doubt. _________________ Glenn
