QUOTABLES: THE APOCRYPHAL WINSTON CHURCHILL

 

This more of a grammatical joke, than a historically accurate anecdote.

One day in Parliament, Winston Churchill was finishing up a stemwinder of a speech as PM. After the speech, one of his colleagues in the party, a product of Eton and of Oxford, chided him for ending a sentence with a preposition.

As ever, the quick-witted PM replied: "That sir, is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put!

Utterly brilliant!
