The story is told that Winston Churchill was visiting another country. The first evening there, at the state dinner, he pointed to the chicken entree and said, "May I have some breast?"
The hostess raised her eyebrows and curtly responded, "Mr. Churchill, in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat."
"My apologies, Madam, I was not aware of your customs."
The following day, a "thank you" gift, a large orchid, was delivered to the party's hostess.
The following was written on the note: "I would be obliged if you would pin this on your white meat. -- W. Churchill"
