Another Churchill tale:

WLSC was out of political favor in the 1930's when Bernard Shaw sent him the following:

"Herewith two tickets for the first night of my play. Bring a friend - if you have any"

To which WLSC replied:

"Regret prior engagemnent - cannot attend your first night. Will come to second - if there is one"
