Funny Churchill story... - Der Kuenstler - 09-27-2006 During a tour in Canada, Winston Churchill attended a reception and found himself seated next to a stiff-necked Methodist bishop. A pretty waitress appeared with a tray of glasses of sherry. She offered one to Churchill, which he took, and then presented one to the Methodist bishop. The bishop, aghast at being offered alcohol, said, "Young lady, I'd rather commit adultery than take an intoxicating beverage." Thereupon, Churchill beckoned the girl. "Come back, lassie. I didn't know we were given a choice."
