The bestest come back
« on: August 25, 2004, 11:46:28 PM »
Sorry, to pinch the title of the other thread.

Now I know not many people here are likely to be interested in cricket [in fact, aside from the Kiwis, Aussies and Brits, will anyone else even know what it is?], but the title of the other thread reminded me of something.

Cricket is a real gentlemanly sport - people clap the opposition, heh, there's even a tea break. Well, its gentlemanly unless the Aussies are involved...:-P

Anyway, there's a practice called 'sledging' - putting off the batsman by insulting him, intimidating him etc. As you can imagine, the Aussies are dab-hands at this, and in the same way an England - Scotland football match is a rather acrimonious affair, so is Aus vs NZ at cricket.

Anyway, the Aussies were fielding, a Kiwi was facing, and so the Aussie fielders were trying to put off the batsman. One of them cried, "Why are you so fat?"
The batsman calmly turned round and said "Cos everytime I fu*k your missus, she gives me a biscuit"

Now is that a comeback, or is that a comeback?



[regardless of context if need be]




Quick, quick, scour the urban myths. Say, 'that's well old'. :-P

I didn't know there were any South Africans in the the forums. I know you'd mentioned living there, but it didn't click, sorry :-)

Yeah, I've heard that - good innit? :-D


Off the top of my head, another quote (very un-PC, and not Churchill):
