In the early '80s the Holiday Inn near Groote Schuur hospital in Cape Town used to have drag shows on at weekends. Being openly gay in South Africa at that time was, I suspect, pretty damn dangerous.
We were there one weekend and the act was going down a storm except for one guy at a table with a bunch of other japies in uniform who kept heckling. The act ignored him for about five minutes then stopped, turned towards the guy and came out with one of the best putdowns I've ever heard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to meet the only virgin in the room. A perfect C^&*"
Funnily enough the heckling stopped.
