Lady said to him pointing to his rather large belly:
"Winston, if I saw that on a young lady I would say she was pregnant!"
"Madam, it was and she is."

NoiseNinja said:That's a great quote by William S. Burroughs, the whole quote is:
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.
PSPookie said:Nice catch; it's a misquotation of the Tao Te Ching
Original (translated):
"The thirty spokes unite in the one nave; but it is on the empty
space (for the axle), that the use of the wheel depends. Clay is
fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness, that
their use depends. The door and windows are cut out (from the walls)
to form an apartment; but it is on the empty space (within), that its
use depends. Therefore, what has a (positive) existence serves for
profitable adaptation, and what has not that for (actual) usefulness."
Lady Astor: "Sir Winston, you are drunk". Winston Churchill; "My Lady, I may be drunk but you are ugly. In the morning, I will be sober but, you will still be ugly".
Lady Astor to Churchill, "If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea," to which he responded, "Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it!"
That's a great quote by William S. Burroughs, the whole quote is:
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.
