For a book entitled The World's Greatest Put-down Lines, one would expect the best of the best put-downs and nothing but put-downs, right?

Well, only 31 pages are devoted to the supposedly "greatest" put-down lines while the remainder is comprised of cheesy put-downs and jokes for comedians and public speakers that are just down right weak and about as funny as watching the evening news.

Examples:
Excuse me, was I talking while you were?
Is that your face or did your neck throw up?
Now I know why some animals eat their young!

See my point...and sadly those are some of the better ones. For a book written by comedians, I would think they would be able to come up with better put-downs than they have. While there are a few funny put-downs, these are anything but the "greatest" put-downs by any stretch of the imagination.
