"When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast."
"When Nancy Astor said to Churchill: "Sir, if I were your wife I would put poison in your coffee." Winston riposted with: "Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it."
During a visit to America, Winston Churchill was invited to a buffet luncheon at which cold fried chicken was served. Returning for a second helping, he asked politely, " May I have some breast?" "Mr. Churchill," replied the hostess, "in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat." Churchill apologized profusely. The following morning, the lady received a magnficent orchid from her guest of honor. The accompanying card read: I would be most obliged if you would pin this on your white meat."
