Matt, the ugly/drunk line is generally attributed to Winston Churchill, of all people.

Winston Churchill, of all people

Thanks for that Dan, you are absolutely correct - that one was bothering me.

It goes something like...

"Madam you are correct, I might be drunk but..."

After having a few drinks, Churchill behaved badly at a social affair at Mary Astors home in New York. Apparently he was overheard telling dirty jokes in mixed company.

Mrs. Astor: "Mr. Churchill! If I were your wife, I'd put poison in your tea."

Churchill: "Ma'am, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."

Moses, that's beautiful. Glad to see I'm not the only nutcase around here. ...

Another of my favorite Churchills:

A famous playwright of the day, who was not particularly supportive of Winston's political direction, ran across Winston on the street and said, thinking he was clever: "Winston, my newest play is opening on Friday night and I would be proud to leave a pair of tickets at Will Call for you and a friend.....if you have one."

Winston's reply: "Sadly, I am otherwise engaged on Friday evening, but I would be grateful for a pair of tickets to Saturday's performance....if there is one."

Superman, my fave will always be: (and I can't quote directly, but I'll try)

a woman (don't remember her status) with a less than favorable opinion of Churchill once remarked to him that if she were his wife, she would poison his tea. to which he replied "Madam, if I were your husband, I shall drink it!"

Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Have you and PWD been fishing again?
