Inults

Another parliamentary one. I've forgotten who said it though.

"You are educated beyond your intelligence."
 
Jean Harlow, on meeting Margot Asquith: "Hiya Margott".
Lady Asquith: "The 't' is silent, as in Harlow.

An Irish Academic received a Christmas Card from Gareth Fitzgerald, then the Irish Prime Minister. They didn'y get on, and so the card was returned with the following message: " I return your seasonal greetings with contempt. May your hypocritical words choke you. And may they choke you sooner in the New Year rather than later."
 
pendy said:
"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!

That was between the Earl of Sandwich and John Wilkes.

I love this one:

(Somerset Maugham but no idea who he was talking about
