Well, it's an era where people insult each other "politely". It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality observer
I chimed in with, "Haven't you people ever heard of Thumper's mother? If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."
that insult was so weak I'm shocked that man laughed as if she told the greatest joke of all time #-.-)
