Oh don't be so harsh on him, your probably only giving him more reason to yank yer chain

Your much better off replying in kind with something along the lines:

The US and British Navy were recently on manoeuvres in the Persian gulf. The communications officer on the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise sent a radio message to the British carrier HMS Illustrious: "And how's the second biggest Navy in the world today then?"
To which the Illustrious officer responded: "Fine. How's the second best?"

The USS Enterprise did not reply.
