Best Forum Responses....!
So Best Forum Topics has been done and this made me laugh a lot at times. So what about best forum responses (individual posts) that prompt a burst of laughter and often make threads so memorable?
Not really aiming for put-downs aimed at ruffling someone's feathers, I've seen loads of responses which made me laugh out load though and this is what I would like to be reminded of, and hopefully you will too...
3 spring to my mind to kick off with:
From Oh Sugar Help thread by vanman:
Ah, you should've said. I think a better mains lead might be the answer.
From Why do Woman Lie thread by Davro83:
Gerrardasnails:I imagine you were born in 83 Davro so you have plenty of years on your side. Enjoy.
Whereas of course if Davro is 83...
From Hi Fi Humour thread by me:
You were wrong.
steve, great post. Those all made me lol as well.
On "OLED's quality decaying over time" thread, where it was discussed that OLED TVs have a lifespan of just 5 years:
I have heard that blue doesnt have a good life span, but never thought beyond that. LGs new 55" OLED at CES has white OLEDs with a colour filter. Due out this year it'll be interesting to read owners thoughts in 2013.
Yes and then once again in 2018 
Thanks bigboss, yep, that hit the spot.
Thanks Jax, there's a mine of humour on these forums to keep us smiling, will look forward to a few posts to this thread from you shortly I'm sure.
It obviously doesn't have to be responses from the past, might be a good place to highlight responses made in future weeks as well so we can all have a laugh and don't miss them.
Another couple of firm favourites of mine for a Sat morning:
Both from why do woman lie thread by Davro83:
dantan:When you see her on Thursday, tell her what you have been telling us here.
Though probably best not to email her a link...
sonycentre:you have just watched knowing
Isn't that piling misery on top of suffering?
Alternatively she's been seeing someone else and the marriage stuff was guilt and her trying to make you happy but then she realised she'd rather be with the other bloke and finished it before it went any further.
Unfortunately the only person who can tell you is her. I'd be suing her for the dog though, that's just mean.
I was going to reply "flat"
Some might prefer ones with a slightly lifted top end.
Que?!
I like all funny comments to have a slightly lifted top end 
a flat response is the usual prefernce for audiophiles...ok, I'll get my coat.....
Sorry, I'm with ya now, late one last night and somewhat foggy morn 
From Top 10 Weirdest Looking Hi Fi Components:
The Cross MP3 player. Plays 320kbps max, so arguably it's not a hi-fi component, but it's still weird...
And in the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" category:
Exterminate....exterminate....
Andrew Everard:
heystak:Is "wireless speakers" a bit of a misnomer?
Is 'speakers' a bit of a misnomer, since they're not actually capable of independent speech. Maybe 'transducers' would be more accurate.
speaking of misnomers....may I suggest "smart-***"...
From what's the most expensive cartridge in the world? forum:
That's what insurance is for... Lots of people have cars, paintings, jewellery - even pets - that they insure; hi-fi (and, of course, all your discs and downloads) should be no less protected from accidental damage, fire and theft
I can imagine the conversation with the insurance company helpdesk being very like the one Jeremy Clarkson had when calling the 'Quote Me Happy' people from a Bugatti Veyron.
"K-O-E-T-S-U"
"Is that a kind of dog?"
"It's a cartridge for my hi-fi."
"What, like an old cassette?"
"No. It's the stylus. On a record deck."
"The needle?"
"Yes. The 'needle'."
"You realise the excess would be £200 sir? It's probably not worth insuring to be honest."
"But it costs £15,000."
"HAHAHA! Umm, what I meant to say was we have a fire alarm going off and I have to put the phone down now sir. So sorry."
(Sound of background laughter - from entire helpdesk - as phone is put down before our hero can explain about the Coralstone and Platinum.)
From sick and tired of having to justify why I chose to 'waste' £400 thread re new iPad:

From sick and tired of having to justify why I choose to 'waste' £400 thread re new iPad:
I think the amount of irritating people who mock Apple products/buyers is probably equal to the amount of irritating Apple owners who spout company lines like "It just works" when asked for a reason to support their assertion that "Apple is better than M$ !!!11!!!". If I ever meet one of these people, I will be forced to kick them in the shins. Repeatedly.
Boom. Insanely Great. Magical. 
It just works.

Too many to name individuals over the past 4 years. Although I do believe this'll be better placed in "Off-Topic..." section, as your thread isn't exclusive to "hi-fi".
