Please tell me that he did reply to -

"Winston, you're drunk!"

"Madam, you are ugly, but in the morning I will be sober"

One of my favorite Churchillisms went something like this:

Woman (some duchess I think): If I was married to you, I'd give you poison!

Winston: Madam, if I was married to you, I'd drink it!

but this is off-topic....

Re: Winston Churchill

Drosophilla notes:

Hi Cavediver,

Both your quote and that of Xongsmith were attributed to Churchill’s sparring with Lady Astor, but it may be apocryphal.

Nancy Astor, Viscountess Astor - Wikipedia

(See end of wiki article).

Ahah! So we may be on topic afterall!
