One night in the House of Commons, a Miss Bessie Braddock, a socialist member for Liverpool, turned to Churchill and said, "Winston, you're drunk." Churchill instantly replied, "Bessie, you're ugly and tomorrow morning I'll be sober, but you'll still be ugly."

Lady Astor once told Churchill, "If you were my husband, I would poison your coffee." Churchill replied, "If you were my wife, I would drink it."
