Actually, few people know the full context of Wilde's quote. It went something like this:
Wilde: Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. [Pauses for admiring laughter which doesn't come.]
Bloke: Oh, that's really funny, Oscar. Wow, I think I might actually die laughing. Never, in the whole history of humanity has there been such an insightful and witty comment as that. How can I possibly respond? Hang on - I've got it! [Bloke punches Wilde on the nose then repeatedly spits in his face.]
PS. Ta for the good word. Always gratefully received.Statistics: Posted by Mrs Ray Flicker — Fri Apr 09, 2010 6:43 pm
