A Repartee.

I remember another: A priest advised- the best thing is to abstain from women, wine and gamble. The follower said- Perhaps I don't suit to the best. Please tell the next.

Yes sir. that's another example for repartee.
Once Churchill was confronted by a woman.
She said, " Had I been your wife, i would have given you poison.
Churchill said, Had I been your husband i would have drunk the poison.

A very good example Sir. Here goes another one:

"He hasn't an enemy in the world, but all his friends hate him."-----Eddie Cantor.

I remember a repartee from Churchill A modest little person, with much to be modest about.

A repartee is according to dictionary, the practice or faculty of making witty retorts or wit in quick reply.
Once Bernard Shaw, one of the greatest playwrights sent a message to Winston Churchill.
I’m enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play. Bring a friend if you have one.
Churchill retorted,” Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second, if there is one.”

I don't have any example to cite, but this is a great tool in case we wish to get back at sometime by still being polite.

Here is a repartee involving Bernard Shaw and G.K Chesterton.
One day both approached a narrow London alley from either end. Normally, one waits at one's end for the other to pass, because two persons can't cross without discomfort. Each saw the other, but advanced. Face-to-face midway, glaring but without a word, one finally turned aside to let the other pass. As he brushed past, GK Chesterton bellowed, "I don't give way to fools." Quick was Shaw's whisper: "But I do."

"Before your arrival I was impatiently looking towards the Entrance of the auditorium. "
The Pleased actor said, "Now are you looking towards me"?
" No, looking towards the Exit."

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Here goes one more:
A police officer was explaining to the indignant matron behind the wheels why he stopped her vehicle. "Ma'am, you ignored a stop sign, wandered over the opposite lane three times, and made an illegal left turn." While he wrote the ticket he listened politely to the woman's uninterrupted protest.
"The trouble with you policemen," she concluded bitterly, " is you spend all your time picking on responsible citizens. Why don't you go catch drunk drivers for a change?"
" Ma'am, I thought I had one." was the soft reply.

I’ve just learned about his illness. Let’s hope it’s nothing trivial.

"If you were my wife, I'd drink it." (Churchill's reply)--
This one is awesome, isn't it?
