This brings to mind the famous quote by Winston Churchill to some high society dame (whose name escapes me).

High Society Dame: "You, sir, are drunk".

Winston Churchill: "And you, madame, are ugly. In the morning I'll be sober, but you'll still be ugly."

Sir Winston Churchill delivered the line. Several sites indicate that the unfortunate recipient was Lady Astor.
