As Christians we would, of course, never want to insult anyone. But just in case, I like this one from Groucho Marx:

I never forget a face, but I’ll make an exception in your case.

  1. Matthew:

    Lady Astor to Churchill at a party: “Winston you are drunk.”
    Churchill: “and madam you are ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober.”

  2. Jonathan Cooper:

    Winston really was the king of insults and yet one of our countries greatest leaders. Perhaps John Maxwell is missing a chapter from his leadership books. The 22nd indespensible quality - “insult with style.” Her is my favourite Churchill insult, again to Lady Astor!

    Lady Astor: “Winston, if I were your wife I’d put poison in your coffee.”
    Winston: “Nancy, if I were your husband I’d drink it.”

  3. Trevor:

    Glad to see that my brothers in Christ have an eye for a good insult!
