Love Winston Churchill a master of dry wit and sarcasm.
The following is credited to him and I'm not sure if it is true. However, it sounds in keeping with his other acerbic jibes.
At a society or parliamentary dinner an old spinster or snob who was offended by his wit, cigars and drinking apparently said:
" If I was your wife sir, I'd poison your drink!"
To which he replied
"..and if I was YOUR husband madam, I'd gladly drink it!"
Apparently the conversation ended there ..... classic!
