This week I feature a list of insults — some well known — that were shared with me years ago by a former business colleague and friend, Joe Chamberlin.
OMgoodness. These are hilarious. I love the good old, bad old days. Mind if I swipe some of these for my quote series? Although, I am trying to do something a little less insulting, and a little more loving, it's nice to break it up now and then with some real zingers. Keeps things real. The Churchill/Astor quote is phenomenal. He was a clever dude. And of course, Dorothy P never disappoints. xo
Makes me think of my friend's dad's memorial service where similar hilarities were shared from his unparalleled wit.
He rec'd a phone call from a fellow colleague one evening.
"Hello Dick. Is this a good time to call? Are you having supper?"
To which Dick replied, "No, but I wish I were."
Perfect! Thanks for sharing this anecdote. Very memorable. And useful for all kinds of situations!
🤣

Often misattributed to Shakespeare: "I’d challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed."
Your friend Joe sounds like a fun guy to work with...on Thursdays. :)
Joe was the best. Thanks for the useful addition to the list!
