Brilliant, but beware, that sort of comment could subject you to the Scythian Cure.

CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision. (from Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary)

I was always told that

a) when you meet a man on the street and he's wearing your business suit, that's nerve.

b) when you meet a man on the street and he smiles at you with your own teeth (think dentures), that's chutzpah!...
