Also Churchill - Nancy Astor said to him "Winston, if you were my husband I would put poison in your coffee"
WSC said "Nancy, if you were my wife, I would drink it".
Can't remember exactly who, but there was a parliamentary exchange in the 19 century:
"Sir, I am unsure whether you will die on the scaffold or of the pox!"
Response? -
"That, my Lord, depends on whether I embrace your Lordship's morals, or your Lordship's mistress!"
Nice one!
