Philip of Macedon was on the receiving end of one of the coolest jokes of all time.
He sent a message to the Spartans: "If I conquer your country, I will raze Sparta to the ground."
They sent back a messenger with a one-word answer: "If."

Funny, wasn't that a GBS joke?
This one:
George Bernard Shaw telegrammed Winston Churchill just prior to the opening of Major Barbara: "Have reserved two tickets for first night. Come and bring a friend if you have one."
Churchill wired back, "Impossible to come to first night. Will come to second night, if you have one."
