The Prime Minister speaks. . .


"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."
-- Sir Winston Churchill
as quoted by my neighbor, Tom Story, (right) when asked if he knew anything at all about the great Prime Minister of Great Britain. This quote is often mistakenly attributed to the lesser W.C. Fields, so it turns out that Story does indeed know something about Churchill, after all.

Incidentally, it was W. C. Fields who said: "T'was a woman who drove me to drink. I never had the courtesy to thank her."
