One night in the House of Commons, Churchill, after imbibing a few drinks, stumbled into Bessie Braddock, a corpulent Labourite member from Liverpool. An angry Bessie
straightened her clothes and addressed the British statesman.
"Winston," she roared. "You are drunk, and what’s more, you are
disgustingly drunk."
Churchill, surveying Bessie, replied, "And might I say, Mrs. Braddock, you are ugly, and what’s more,
disgustingly ugly.
But tomorrow," Churchill added, "I shall be sober."
