   Though the very snappiest comeback ever may well be this one:

   Once at a social gathering, Gladstone said to Disraeli, “I predict, Sir, that you will die either by hanging or of some vile disease”. Disraeli replied, “That all depends, sir, upon whether I embrace your principles or your mistress.”

   I’ll have to paraphrase the most famous, and I believe best, one I know:

   Winston Churchill was being hounded at a social function by a female socialite who was not very attractive nor approving of his conduct of the moment:

   “Mr Churchill, you are drunk.”

   “Yes, my lady, I am…but you are ugly. In the morning, I shall no longer be drunk.”

   Thanks Scott – that one goes on the “man, I wish I could think that fast” list.
