when insults had class
When Insults Had Class
These glorious insults are from an era before the
English language got boiled down to 4-letter
words.
The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor:
She said, "If you were my husband I'd
give you poison."
He said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink
it."
A Member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir,
you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable
disease."
"That depends, Sir," said Disraeli,
"whether I embrace your policies or your
mistress."
"He had delusions of adequacy." -
Walter Kerr
"He has all the virtues I dislike and none
of the vices I admire." - Winston
Churchill
"I have never killed a man, but I have read
many obituaries with great pleasure." Clarence Darrow
"He has never been known to use a word that
might send a reader to the dictionary." - William
Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway).
"Thank you for sending me
a copy of your book; I'll waste no time reading
it." - Moses Hadas
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent
a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain
"He has no enemies, but is intensely
disliked by his friends...” - Oscar Wilde
"I am enclosing two tickets to the first
night of my new play; bring a friend.... if you have
one." - George Bernard Shaw to Winston
Churchill
"Cannot possibly attend first night, will
attend second... if there is one." - Winston Churchill,
in response.
"I feel so miserable without you; it's
almost like having you here." - Stephen Bishop
"He is a self-made man and worships his
creator." - John Bright
"I've just learned about his illness.
Let's hope it's nothing trivial." - Irvin S.
Cobb
"He is not only dull himself; he is the
cause of dullness in others." - Samuel Johnson
"He is simply a shiver looking for a spine
to run up." - Paul Keating
"In order to avoid being called a flirt, she
always yielded easily." - Charles, Count
Talleyrand
"He loves nature in spite of what it did to
him." - Forrest Tucker
"Why do you sit there looking like an
envelope without any address on it?"
- Mark Twain
"His mother should have thrown him away and
kept the stork." - Mae
West
"Some cause happiness wherever they go;
others, whenever they go.." - Oscar Wilde
"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses
lamp-posts... for support rather than illumination." -
Andrew Lang (1844-1912)
"He has Van Gogh's ear for music."
- Billy Wilder
"I've had a perfectly
wonderful evening. But this wasn't it."
- Groucho Marx

I like the Churchill quote which is an exchange of words he is supposed to have had with Lady Astor, the first woman MP.
Lady Astor: "Winston! You're drunk!"
Churchill: "Yes madam and you're ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober..."

True many people here need some manners.people like gilberjj.Just cocky and if you were to see these people in person they would possibly make you laugh.If you dont agree with them or they dont have the answer your looking for the mouths really open.Lack of respect. craig bawls is other smokins getting that way though at least he has some smarts about the 14 bit not much tact.

My tact is reseved for those who I actually like. Remember zx14fan... Never engage in a battle of witts without sufficient ammunition. Doing so will leave room for far too much malicious humor at your expense.
BTW, if you feel like everyone is picking on you because they don't like you... You're correct.

Maybe if zx14fan didn't bash everyone's ideas people wouldn't attack him. Me personally, I don't care if you are right or wrong. I'm just getting tired of looking on here and seeing your stupid remarks! I'm not the smartest person in the world, nor do I claim to be, but you are just plain retarded. Shut up already!
