The cleverest insult you've ever heard/thought of

Now, hopefully this thread won't warrant removal, if it does then I apologise in advance.

This thread is for the wittiest, most intelligent insult you have heard or given out.

Now, much like most people, I'm not terribly witty or at least variable when it comes to insulting (if at all), usually I won't get maybe one witty insult before just resorting to hurling abuse and other objects at the other person standing near me even if they aren't the ones involved.

However the best insult I have heard of was a situational one, it apparently was uttered in a school workshop, where tech or electronics or woodwork/metalwork was taught (depending which age you come from). One pupil saw a screw in the wooden desk, then said to another:
"Hey, that is you, screwed by a boy."
Now on the face of it isn't terribly witty, until the put both his feet and face in it when he replied, much to his embarrassment:
"But it could have been a girl."

For me that has always stuck in my mind ever since I had heard it but like I have said I'm sure there are much wittier insults. So what are the most wittiest you have heard?

Have just noticed the title is too long should be heard/thought 'OF'. :$

Someone once suggested I should come down the gym and struggle with the weights, so I suggested they should come down the library with me and look at the picture books.

This was a great comeback from the tool guy, the poor girl's left speechless:

Not clever, but my favourite insult was when I said to a policewoman: "You're not very good at your job, are you?"

I made it up the other night. "Pigwitch". It's clever because both pig and witch are insults, but together they'll just bemuse your target. They won't even realise they've been DOUBLE INSULTED. F**king pigwitches.

Me and the wife walked into a bar in Tenerife, I must admit I was wearing a rather glaringly garish, bright orange Hawaiian shirt...

Just as we sat down with our dos grande cervejas the singer shouted out to me, "Hey, mate, the shit shirt contest is tomorrow

Quick as a flash I retorted, "What's tonight, shit singer?"

The place erupted into laughter, the singer went bright red and never once looked into my smug stare for the rest of the night...

Ooh, excellent!

SUPER WIN!

Almost as good as Pigwitch.

I wouldn't have thought of saying that until approximately 48 hours later.

Someone vacated my usual bar stool and I hopped aboard. Would you jump in my grave so quick? he asked.
No. but I'd dance on it, I replied. (Actually I used a ruder word than dance made me smile anyway.]

I like some of the great cricket sledges:

McGrath: Why are you so fat?
Brandes: Because every time I f**k your wife she gives me a biscuit

Rod Marsh: How's your wife and my kids?
Ian Botham: The wife's fine, the kids are retarded.

So basically you wished a poor chap dead because of his innocent light-hearted quip? A quip he probably hoped would be the start of a friendship with his favourite author. For shame, Marc!

And then said I would pee on his grave. Now you put it like that, I do feel ashamed.

Someone had a go at me at work the other day, so quick as a flash I said "OH FUCK OFF YOU SODDING BLOODY BUM HEAD"

that told them

When we were at Uni we used to banter with a mate of ours, who was a Welshman.

One day, after some ribbing, he turned around and said "Alright then, if Wales is so bad, how come on the Severn Bridge you English bastards have to pay to get into our country, but we Welsh don't have to pay to get into yours?"

And my mate left a slight pause, and then replied "Well it's just like the zoo, isn't it! You only pay to get in, not to get out!"
