If I had responded to the comment “William Wallace was a skirt-wearing f*****!” it would have been to say "William Wallace didn't wear a kilt, READ A BOOK!"

Again, Jamie, you are correct. A similar retort came to me about five minutes after the event - ahh, that old 20/20 hindsight thing again.

Cheers,

Troy

The retort "READ A BOOK" I got from a TV cartoon of the Comic book "The Tick". I have found that it applies to a wide and varied number of idiots in all manner of situations.

It's a good one - versatile, snappy, and very hard to misinterpret.

I have to admit that my "when you get home you can tell your mother that today you saw a real man" line (which I happen to think was quite funny) is not entirely original: the story goes that during the Great War a young British officer came across a battle-hardened Australian private who refused to salute. When challenged, the Aussie stood up and patted the officer on the shoulder and said, "Son, when you get home you can tell your mother that today you met a real soldier".

Cheers,

Troy

I must say, Troy, you are a bigger man than I. If you insult my momma, I'm kicking your a**!

And if you insult my momma, she'll kick your a***!

the last person to insult my mum had three Mounties have a "chat" with him on their own time.
Safer than having mum take matters into her own hands Scottish style (in the dark, from behind, with greater numbers), really.

Oh, she like kilts, too.
