Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill Wins Poll With His Funniest Insulting Remark In History...

Former British PM Winston Churchill was once very publicly accused of being very drunk by Lady Astor. Yes my dear, the witty Winston replied, and you are very ugly.
However in the morning I shall be sober...
With that wonderful retort, Winston Churchill has just won a poll of two thousand Britons to find the funniest put down in history.
Lady Astor is also attributed with saying to him, Winston if I were married to you,
I'd put poison in your coffee.
Said he, If I was married to you, I'd drink it...

  3. Bet we all wish we could instantly come up with a witty reply to words that have gashed our egos. Most often we are hurt and can't forgive. Words of wisdom though, tell us that if you can't forgive it's like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
