Wow's list reminds me of another one (and this is a nearly verbatim YART, I'll tell ya straight out).
Jim Hightower has said of our illustrious President W (long before he got that particular office, probably when he had his sights set on his real goal, Commissioner of Baseball): "If ignorance ever hits $50 a barrel, I want drilling rights on that man's head."

It sounds as though Jim Hightower was so lacking in talent for devising insults that he wanted to increase his own intracranial deposit of ignorance.I've heard some stupid insults but this one tops them all.

Now, don't haul me over the forearm/yardarm/forehead/forehand/whatever-it-is, Sparteye--
you had conceded that the spot didn't belong to you.
To which I will add that I have been admiring your very quick wit in your posts, esp. here lately: for ex.,
the yodeling comment--super! [blessings and thanksgiving e]

The witticisms said to have been written into efficiency reports make for good chuckles. However, I wonder how often such efforts at humor may hurt the perpetrator as much as the victim. The superior who reads the evaluations needs facts on which to base a personnel action, and may be seriously annoyed by humor.

Nowadays I'm the AWAD village idiot.
Well, frog feathers. You mean that I can't even claim that distinction? I'll fight ya for it, Geoff.Oh, boy, I sure do get myself in a lot of trouble on this board! Two weeks ago I had to fight a duel with AnnaStrophic, (overcooked okra at twenty paces) and now I gotta go up against a Yankee lawyer? Groannnnn! So what's it gonna be? Another food fignt, perhaps? Strawberry torts at ten paces?

Bill, I think most of the "fitness report" comments were apocryphal, somehow. The military are not normally noted for their wit, although I concede some members of the military may have some! Funny as, some of those expressions, though. I think "I would not breed this officer", if actually said, is one of the most damning put-downs I've ever seen! BTW, I'm measurable, and I'm sure that others on the Board have one bigger than mine!

I recently read a biography of US Grant. A junior lieutenant asked him why he had not had a promotion in two years. Grant pointed to a donkey, and said:" He's been here three years, and he's still a jackass!"

Oh, you did NOT say that! Yipes! Yes I did, but I was too dumb to put a complete reference in ...
