More Churchill:

WSC at a reception in Canada was seated next to a fire breathing Methodist minister.

Pretty waitress approached with a tray of drinks and Churchill accepted. She turned to offer the minister a drink who declared "I would rather commit adultery than have alcohol pass my lips"

From WSC came " Come back young lady, I didn't realise we had a choice"


And

In a Commons debate during a particularly tedious speech from a member of the opposition Churchill appeared to nod off. His opponent asked Must you fall asleep when I'm speaking?"

The reply: "No, it's purely optional"



And a good way to impress the boss from UAS days:

Boss very underwhelmed at numbers signed up for enforced 'fun' games night starts questioning people about their excuses:

"XXX, why aren't you going?"

"Because I don't like them Sir"

Boss very unimpressed. "Oh really?"

"Yes Sir, I really don't like them"
