I was going to cite the first responder's tale, which is also one of my favorites. Another tale:
Female dinner guest, to WSC: "If I were your wife, I'd put poison in your coffee."
WSC: "If I were your husband, I'd drink it."

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gases: gases can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected." ""Keep England White" is a good slogan." Great guy that Winston, a real riot.

I love the story about the dinner attended by Sir Winston who was seated next to Bessie Braddock a Labour Member of Parliament from Liverpool who had a face akin to a bag of spanners.
Winston was a little the worse for wear due to the large amount of brandy he had consumed.
"Winston." She snapped, "You're drunk."
"Yes Madam," Replied the Great Man, "And you're ugly.........But tomorrow I shall be sober!"
