That’d be several times 500.🤔👍

Person A: I'm not as stupid as I look.
Person B: How could you be?

Best insult ever: "He gropes for trout in strange brooks."

Huh. I did not know that.

However, I suspect that "your cologne clashes with your necktie" was not in fact written by the Bard of Avon, but perhaps by Francis Bacon or Edward de Vere.

Second best insult ever: "(He's) not a man, he's a cramp."

-- Shakespeare, The Tempest

While not an insult, per se, in Casablanca (1942), Rick is asked, "What kind of man is Captain Renault?" Rick answers, "Oh, just like any other man, only more so."

There is a lot of respect between the two characters in that film; part of what makes the film so charming. When the girl persists "Will he (Renault) keep his word?" Rick answers "He always has," leaving open that Renault might not some day. Can you imagine, would we still love that film if Ronald Reagan had gotten the role instead?
