burn, baby, burn

There's nothing like a really good putdown. Some comics have built entire careers around their ability to deliver the perfect insult. Let's face it, we all take a little bit of guilty delight in other's misfortune every once in a while. Yes, there's definitely an art to the perfect slight.

Two choices this time:
  1. When was the last time you got burned with a real zinger--you know, the sort of comment that really stings, maybe even embarrasses you in front of other people? If you could do it all over again, with the benefit of hindsight and time, what would you say and/or do differently in response?

    OR

  2. What's the best insult you've ever heard? I'm not talking mean, I'm talking creative as well as scathing. Write it here and then try your own hand at doling out some real burns.
