"I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new Play. Bring a friend…if you have one." - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill.



"Cannot possibly attend first night. Will attend second.... if there is one."

- Winston Churchill, in response.



"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork."

- Mae West



"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it."

- Groucho Marx



The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor:

She said, "If you were my husband I'd give you poison."

He said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

A member of Parliament to Disraeli:



"Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease."

"That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies, or your mistress."



"He has all the virtues I dislike, and none of the vices I admire."

- Winston Churchill

Further exchange between Lady Astor & Churchill:



He said "you, madam, are ugly"

She replied "and you, sir, are drunk"

He said "yes, but in the morning, I will be sober"



At least, I think that's right
