On Jan 24 1965 Winston Churchill died. He was ninety. Guess all those cigars and all that hard liqueur are actually good for you. I may have to enjoy a Cohiba and some Jack this evening in his honor.
He's one of my favorite historical figures. He was known for not taking shit from anyone and had a knack for speaking his mind. This lead to numerous fantastic quotes. One of my favorites is:
At a dinner party he uttered something that parties hostess took offense to and she quickly quipped:
"Sir, if you were my husband I'd put poison in your tea!"
"Madame, If you were my wife I'd drink it"
