At a dinner party Lady Astor once remarked to Winston Churchill: "Sir Winston, you're drunk!"
To which Winston replied: "Yes, Madam, I am. And
you're ugly! But in the morning, I will be sober!"
She replied indignantly with "Mr. Churchill, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink!" Keeping his cool, Churchill said "Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it!"
