Matt, the ugly/drunk line is generally attributed to 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?

my sentiments exactly!! the only trick is to make sure that you don't get to that point before reaching the finish line

Give a man a fish, and he owes you a fish.
Teach a man to fish, and you give up your monopoly on fisheries.
