The best réparti has to be Churchill's when he was told: "'You are drunk Sir Winston, you are disgustingly drunk."

To which he retorted: "Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. But, tomorrow morning, I, Winston Churchill will be sober.”

No, Mr. Sheep. Dorothy Parker had the best. One:


Clare Boothe Luce - (inviting Dorothy Parker to enter a room first) Age before beauty.

Dorothy Parker - (accepting the invitation) Pearls before swine.



I think I will try this one of Dorothy's next time my phone rings:

'Tell him I'm f**king busy, or vice versa.'

My favourite was one my ex said to me not long after we got divorced..
I told him I would dance on his grave.
His retort 'Good, I'm getting buried at sea'!!




I can't swim. LOL

It is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves.
