LOL John Cleese Just Obliterated Piers Morgan in ONE Glorious Tweet!!
It takes a comic master like John Cleese to deliver such a devastating insult to a truly execrable individual like Piers Morgan. Behold the awesomeness:
Piers Morgan writes that I didn't recognise him in a restaurant in New York.I did.I just didn't want to speak to someone I truly detest
— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) June 5, 2015
Here’s the context – career idiot Piers Morgan wrote some drivel attempting to be charming about the famous comedian ignoring him while they were both in the same restaurant:
…you can imagine how I felt when I sat down in my favourite New York restaurant, Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bar, ordered a fine bottle of vintage claret, sighed with almost indecent pleasure at the gastronomic delights heading my way… then turned to my left and spied Cleese at the very next table. Literally two feet away.
For one tiny nanosecond, our eyes locked in mutual shock, then equally mutual withering contempt.
For the next two hours, we avoided all form of contact – physical, verbal, visual.
It was magnificently British.
Then I went to the loo, and returned to find my cousin Miranda in deep jocular conversation with him. They stopped the moment I sat down and the previous icy silence was resumed.
‘What the hell were you doing conversing with The Enemy?’ I hissed.
Miranda laughed. ‘Sorry cuz, but Dad did comedy with him at Cambridge and he’s one of my absolute heroes!’
Obviously the idiot is just jealous of a true comedic legend.
Cleese continued his devastating jabs at the insipid moron:

Piers is now asking when I'll be funny again.'It's been a long time" Answer : "Piers,when are you going to be talented.It's been a lifetime'
