Great Comebacks

[USViking]

There are few things cooler than a great comeback.

Anyone know any good ones?

Here are a couple I always get get a chuckle over
whenI think of them:

1.
Lady Astor to Winston Churchill (they were famous Parliamentary opponents):
"If you were my husband I would poison your coffee"

Churchill: "If you were my wife I would drink it."


2.
Winston Churchill to Lady Astor (during a debate on agricultural policy):
"Why, I'll wager the Lady doesn't even know how many toes a pig has."

Lady Astor: "You're right, I don't. Take off your shoes and socks so I can find out."

The 18th century UK radical politician John Wilkes was once told by some peer: "You will die either on the gallows, or of the pox (ie STD)"

Wilkes replied: "That depends on whether I embrace his lordship's principles, or his mistress."

The other night I was watching friends do a "Hans and Franz" act. It was so long that they had to read from a script. One of them tripped over a line (due to distance) and got heckled.

"Yeah, see what those steroids did to your memory?"
*thick "Hans and Franz" accent* "No, it is just that I cannot see zee script because my pectoral muscles are in zee way."
