put downs, come backs, one liners

When we have posts about put downs, I always forget this one.
As a bit of a Casino fan, this is my favourite Kerry Packer story ... quite a well known anecdote. Apologies to those who've heard it before.
Kerry Packer is sitting at a table in a casino. There's a guy nearby, bragging loudly and flashing his money around, causing a bit of a commotion.
It sounds as if you're not short of a few dollars, says Kerry.
Sir, says the loudmouthed American, my company is worth One Hundred Million Dollars.
Really? says Kerry, sounding impressed. A Hundred Million Dollars?
That's right, Sir, says the man.
Kerry reaches into his pocket, takes out a coin, puts the coin on the table, and says ... I'll toss you for it.
(Needless to say, the other guy slunk away)

back in the days when I wore contact lenses (I was lasered years ago) I had a problem one day and had to wear my glasses to work. we had a big meeting, and this smart arse at the other end of the room shouted, "your glasses make you look really intelligent!" everyone turned to look at me and, although I was bright pink, I managed to reply, "thanks, you should get yourself a pair".
