Should be put on money.
I wonder about the authenticity of the drunk quote from Churchill.

I'm a Churchill fan, having read most of his history of WWII...the quote wasn't in there.
But it's attributed to being said to Bessie Braddock at some party. I doubt if it were said to her face. It was probably voiced in a corner to some other gents amid some laughter and good grace after the initial encounter....like we all I have done at such moments.
The quote from Churchill seems reasonable and witty, the insult to the lady is not like him...unless he was REALLY drunk.
