Still can’t beat the exchange of insults on the floor of parliament between John Montague, Earl of Sandwich and John Wilkes:
(Montagu) “Egad sir, I do not know whether you will die on the gallows or of the pox (venereal disease).”
(Wilkes) “That will depend, my Lord, on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress.”
One of the all-time greatest retorts.
Winston Churchill: Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it.

RESISTOR
Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

Turn me on dead man.
Shaw told Winston Churchill : "Have reserved two tickets for first night. Come and bring a friend if you have one."
Churchill responded, "Impossible to come to first night. Will come to second night, if you have one."
I admire the creativity... heard about this on local radio last night and welcomed the chuckle.
It’s funny you mention about the movies of yesteryear. I watched an old Hitchcock show and an old Night Galley a few nights ago. The Hitchcock one featured an weird old landlady playing church hymns as she taxidermied her male guests. The Night Gallery was about a “sin eater” who had to eat food around a dead person so their sins would be forgiven. The start of Hollywood’s attack against God? I think.
Interesting theory. I have not seen that film, now I’ll have to.
I watch shows like ADAM-12 and Dragnet on RTV. Did those shows really take place in the USA?
