In the vein this has now taken here is one of my favorite Churchill stories.

Mr. Churchill was once invited to a very formal White House dinner by Pres. Harry and Bess Truman. Chicken was being served and Mr. Churchill politely asked for another breast to be passed and Bess Truman ever the polite tea totaler respond "Mr. Churchill, in polite society here it is not referred to as a breast but white meat" with quite some indignation due to her strict Baptist upbringing. Mr. Churchill very politely excused his social faux pas and the evening passed without further incident.

The next day Mr. Churchill sent Mrs. Truman a lovely orchid corsage as a thank you gift for the lovely dinner evening along with a penned note saying "Thank you for the dinner and please pin this corsage upon your white meat"!

I truly with I could have met this man! I simply love his quick wit and ability to cut to the quick of things. Priceless!

Classic Quotes from Full Metal Jacket:

Colonel to private joker after noticing a piece sign and the the phrase 'born to kill on his helmet':
You better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you!

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman berating a new recruit:
I bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around.

Private Joker makes a comment under his breath:
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little communist shit, twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh? The fairy fucking godmother said it. Out-fucking-standing! I will PT you all until you fucking die! I'll PT you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk!
[Gunnery Sgt. Hartman grabs Pvt. Cowboy by the shirt]
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Was it you, you scroungy little fuck, huh?
Private Cowboy: Sir, no Sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: You little piece of shit! You look like a fucking worm! I bet it was you!
Private Cowboy: Sir, no Sir!
Private Joker: Sir, I said it, Sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Well, no shit. What have we got here, a fucking comedian? Private Joker. I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you, you can come over to my house and fuck my sister!

Yes, the first half hour or so of Full Metal Jacket is by itself worth the full price of admission.

Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
[kneels]... I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk

Nikki, interestingly enough, in his book, Ian Flemming's James Bond liked his drink stirred not shaken. He always liked purity and did not follow the crowd.

You're correct Oden...he also changed from gin & vermouth martinis to shaken vodka martinis when he met a German bartender...he has a very interesting biography.
