SPERRY
For the laugh station. Sorry I don't know the name of the woman involved in this exchange. (So I will call her Ms. Smith.) The male is Winston Churchill.
"Mr Churchill, if you were my husband, I would put poison in your tea."
"Ms. Smith, if you were my wife I'd drink it."
LOL Sir Winston!
Whatever else you can say about him, the man had a mind like a scalpel.
Thanks, Stella!

At a dinner one night:
Lady X: "Winston, you are drunk."
Churchill: "And you, Lady X, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning."

thanks Sperry. And DSG --- maybe we should have a thread of Winston Churchill one liners. there are many of them

Wow. If these can really be attributed to him, we are probably just lucky he was never shot.

I believe Mrs. Smith was Lady Astor. She and Churchill supposedly hated each other. Another couple witticisms:
Lady Astor to Churchill: Sir Winston, you are drunk.
Churchill: Yes, Lady Astor, and you are ugly. The difference is in the morning I'll be sober.
He also supposedly answered when she asked him "how he found himself".
Churchill: Well, I threw back the covers this morning, and there I was.
