High Class Insults!?

Question

Tell me what this statement means to you please:

"I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like
having you here."
-- Stephen Bishop

Oh and give me another example of a "High Class" Insult you heard, said, or read somewhere....!

Here are a few:

1. "He loves nature in spite of what it did to him."
-- Forrest Tucker


2. "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


3. "He has never been known to use a word that might send
a reader to the dictionary."
-- William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway)


4. "He has the attention span of a lightning bolt."
-- Robert Redford

OK this one is good....


5. Lady Astor says to Winston Churchill, " You are
drunk." Churchill replies, "I am drunk and you are
ugly. Tomorrow I will be sober."

Remember... There is a very thin line between constructive criticism and classless bashing!!!
