Hey, y'all, what's your favorite expression you use when tact is mandatory?

My favorite:

Instead of telling someone to take a flying f--k off a rolling doughnut, you tell them to go have aeronautical intercourse with a moving pastry.

I used this on a CPO once...he had to look up the definitions to find out what I said to him...LOL True story

Mine is "Yes, sir." or Yes, ma'am."

I usually throw in something like "you do know the Navy will pay for the surgery, right?" To which they normally ask: "what surgery are you talking about?" To which I reply: "The periscope surgery. You know, the one so you can see through your belly button." There's usually a long pause until they finger it out - at which point they usually get steaming mad and walk away.
