Re: When insults were an art

I probably shouldn't repeat the best insult I've ever heard here but many will remember hearing it first hand as I did and I'm sure it's on the internet.

It is what David Niven said when he was on stage at the podium at the Oscar awards to a streaker who streaked by him on the stage naked.
I'll never forget that!
