    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).
    • "I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain

    • "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
    • "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

                                        All worth a 5 but could only give you one I'll let you determine which one. :)

                                        I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

                                          I like this one: Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.” Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”

                                          So that's where these song lyrics came from! Yes I'm drunk but damn you're ugly Tell you one thing, yes I will Tomorrow morning I'll be sober And you'll be just as ugly still... James McMurtry (Red Dress)
