“Go away and have another heart attack!”

— Norman Tebbit

According to Francis Wheen, Tebbit shouted this at left-wing Labour MP Tom Litterick during a House of Commons debate in the late 1970s, on the day of Litterick's return to the commons after a lengthy abscence following a heart attack and extensive heart surgery. Litterick did in fact die of another heart attack shortly afterwards http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,444195,00.html
