Seeing as this has taken a literary turn, I noticed this in the Telegraph today in an article discussing the pros and cons of responding to a damning book review:

Quote
It's always ill-advised to enter into correspondence, even in the classic response ? attributed to any number of people, though I believe the originator may have been the German composer Max Reger. "Sir: I am seated in the smallest room in the house. Your review is before me. Shortly it will be behind me."

 ;D

Meanwhile I talk a lot whilst in the "Littlest Room" ~ in fact I shout a lot.

"Get away from that bloody door, it's locked because there is someone in here you moron"
"Stop arguing with your brother and go and tidy your rooms"
"I don't care how desperate you are, there is another one up/down stairs BUT I AM IN THIS ONE"
"Will someone PLEASE ANSWER THAT DAMNED TELEPHONE"
"Go and see who is at the door you little **********!"

You will understand that these are just a few examples. The range is limitless.  cussing:
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
