What's that quote attributed to Churchill about some bimbo telling him he was a drunk and he replied, "madam, in the morning I'll be sober but you will still be ugly" or something to that effect?

Lady: Winston, you are drunk.
Churchill: And madam, you are ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober.

Lady: Sir, if you were my husband I'd put poison in your tea!
Chuchill: Ma'm, if you were my wife I'd drink it.

The "bimbo" was Dame Lady Astor. He said it to her at a party.

She approached him and said, "Sir Winston, you're drunk." He replied, "Yes, madam, and your'e ugly. But I'll be sober in the morning."

Batsy -- Here ya go.

-------

Nancy Witcher Langhorne, Lady Astor, MP, at a dinner party in 1938:

''Oh, be silent Winston! You're drunk.''

Winston Churchill, MP:

''I am drunk. And you, madam, are ugly. However, tomorrow morning I shall be sober.''

Note: Lady Astor was the first woman to introduce a bill in Parliament, and is often considered to be the epitome of haughtiness. She and Churchill, although both Tories, had any number of famous rows.

Churchill was at some function and a woman said to him, You're drunk! He replied, Yes my dear I am. And you're ugly. But in the morning, I'll be sober. She responded, If I were your wife I would put poison in your food. His answer, If you were my wife I'd eat it.
