Youve finally thought of the killer retort but missed your window by anywhere from 3mins to 3 years and its just too good to waste. You cant call them up and say "hey, remember that conversation we were having last month...", that would look desperate, so hire someone else to so it for you.

You would need to supply as much of the conversation as possible as well as a brief psychological profile of the intended recipient. The courier would then locate the target (stalk is such an ugly word), ingratiate themselves and then instigate the conversation until the retort has been successfully delivered.

You would then receive a recording (media type dependent on price paid) to play over and over again at your leisure.

       George Costanza did this first-person in a "Seinfeld" episode, reminding us of the gut-fire born of opportunity missed. I'd pay for it.
