"I've killed better men than you." A colleague of mine (and an ex-para and para-instructor in WW2) to the most obnoxious and bullying (more) senior Civil Servant with whom I ever had the displeasure of working. He to whom it was addressed hid in his room from about 9 a.m. until after we'd all gone home. With luck he wet himself.

When it works, but no-one knows why

A Hunter was looking for the tracks of a Lion. He encountered a Native who offered to take him straight to the Lion
'Oh no', bleated the Hunter fearfully, 'I am only looking for his tracks, I do not want to encounter him!'
