Fortune Quote #501

Lady Astor: "Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink."
Winston Churchill: "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it." [This
quotation is probably apocryphal; Fred Shapiro, in The Yale Book of
Quotations, tracked the origins of the phrase to a joke line from a 1900
edition of The Chicago Tribune.]
