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!
