Churchill: I drink, I smoke, and I am two hundred percent fit!

Woman on Street: "Sir, you are drunk; very, very drunk."


Winston Churchill: "Madame, you are ugly; very, very ugly.
I shall be sober in the morning."

i was joking...in any case he didn't actually create the bomb but advocated it's creation only because he thought the Nazis might get it first...he later had regrets about the creation of the bomb given the nature of man.

A forum friend said this to me this morning and I thought it was quite funny.

"tell your friend Boobs don't come and go like night and day" :rofl: :rofl:

The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whiskey. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.
-- Winston Churchill

George Bernard Shaw once sent two tickets to the opening night of one of his plays to Winston Churchill with the following note:
Bring a friend, if you have one.

Churchill wrote back, returning the two tickets and excused himself as he had a previous engagement. He also attached the following:
Please send me two tickets for the next night, if there is one.

I see :bonk: . But still, by formulating this, he gave the people an idea to create such a destructive weapon. Oh well, even if he didn't brought it up during his time, I'm sure someone in the near future will create it :sweat: .
