At least no one has said you are worse than "Mr. Hitler".

Instead of insults, what about heavy innuendo, witty riposte, baganage, ironic banter, and general verbal abuse. 
Baganage??? Even Hitler could spell.

Help for the needy - badinage.

and short story - 

Last weekend my sister and I went to the Highland Games far north of here.

At the point where the massed bands were getting ready to come down the mountain (fantastic!), a really large crowd gathered at the parade field.

Some folks had been drinking more or less moderately all day...

Then two slightly inebriated guys standing near the front began to shout out Monty Python quotes.  

This quickly rippled through the crowd with people bantering back and forth.

I threw out the old witch and block of wood quote and that took off.

In the end about 30 people were involved. Hehe

Great games.

Alba gu bràth! Scotland forever! :D

A little bit of the pipes and drums from that event:

Well spotted. I was too young to have learned that word at school and my family in NL don't use that word (witty riposte is not their strong point, meshuggah) However. Mrs. Cuchulainn (*) (not her real name speaks French like a native screecher)( So I guessed)

BTW I have a personally signed postcard from 1963 from Gerry "and the Pacemakers" Marsden, that's cool AND the bell from the horse-drawn Douglas cariages. I just hope the council did the right thing for those poor animals.

And of course Glenda Jackson and Paul,O'Grady are from Birkenhead.

(*) I'll ask her. My French is woeful.

Now, if another 6,999,999,999 people could just make a similar statement I think we'll have cracked this thing.

Cool. "slightly inebriated" means those guys had good fun.  D
Did you like the pipes?  My grandad was major of a pipe band. Any Scottish harps.

No place like Yemen! Pristine..

Of course - those bagpipes get into the heart and soul. Loved it!

We also saw harpist Kim Robertson and many manly sports like heavy stone lift and the hammer toss.

Sledge hammers mind you, not the kind you use to nail a picture up on your living room wall!

I want to make a statement: Anyone can feel free to insult me. It can be about me, my personality, my behaviour, my habits, my race, age, gender, sexuality, my ableness. My mild scouse accent. Anything. Fill your boots. I won't take offence. (Don't make stuff up though, unless it's really juicy.)

Now, if another 6,999,999,999 people could just make a similar statement I think we'll have cracked this thing.
Nothing comes to my mind. You're bland like pensioner's oatmeal.

We should say something bad about the corrupt leaders of IAAF, who put the world track and field championship in Qatar. Even ppauper might have agreed with that.
