Best ways to argue

I love the way Rayne argues. He always tells it like it is:

And it got me thinking to some of the best argument enders (or starters) that I've ever had.
"You're such an asshole!"
"You're completely right. You know what would make you feel better? Some pie. Why don't you go bake us some while I sit here and think about how horrible I am." Then I went back to playing warcraft (Just so you know, I had been trying to get rid of this woman for 4 months by the time this argument happened. Apparently "Find a new place to live" isn't clear enough. I'm not really that much of an asshole).
Then there was one of Bryan's that was absolutely hilarious, although he spent a week on the couch for it.
"I'm right and your wrong, accept it 'cause you love me!!"
Then, of course, the end-all. We had one roommate who just LOVED to argue. It annoyed everyone, 'cause her voice was whiney, and she wasn't really bright enough to bang two sticks together. When all else failed, we pulled this card:
"Who here has a penis?"
Everyone but her would raise their hand.
"We win. Shut up."
That usually got her huffy enough to leave. Oh what fun!
I'm sure I have a few more that'll come to me in a bit. The fact that I take humor more seriously than any relationship problem usually ended up in some entertaining fights.
