I use a variation of this in depositions where opposing counsel is using lengthy speaking objections. I wait until s/he takes a breath and I interject with "Are you done yet?" It usually further enrages them, so that I can ask it again later. It looks great in the transcript. I look reasonable while they look like a ranting turd.
