LOL I had not heard that one. I may not be a Churchill fan, but I'd put this one up the Lady Astor, "if you were my wife I'd drink the poison" quote. True, funny, and clever. We do tend to work best when backed into a corner like a wounded animal.

I appreciate the dryness of that English wit, myself. I'm even rereading Dickens's "David Copperfield."

I tried to point someone in the bookstore towards Dickens last night. I'm of the opinion that Tale of Two Cities may be the best book ever written. People tend to overlook him though.
