F. Scott Fitzgerald:

Sir – I have read your story, “Benjamin Button,” in Collier’s, and I want to say that as a writer you are a good lunatic. I have seen many big pieces of cheese in my time, but you are the biggest, and I don’t know why I waste this paper and my time on you, but I will.

Sincerely, Your Friend and Constant Reader.

Big piece of cheese!!!!! Best. Insult. Ever.
