Is that a universal truth?

The actual early-Wittgenstein retort to this question is to reference the saying/showing distinction. "That there are no universal truths is not a true proposition, but it is shown by there being no truth which is universal." Or something like that.

The late-Wittgenstein retort is to tell a better joke.
