Sometimes, referees say the darnedest things. Some of these comments are really damned funny, though it's bad as an author being on the receiving end of such snarkiness. I've had my moments as well, but I do try to minimize the number of such things I do in the referee report (unless it's a good-natured comment). I do let the snarky comments fly elsewhere, of course!
One must be very careful, however, with the proverbial "third referee".
