Sir Winston Churchill

Churchill was Prime Minister of Great Britain. He was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He has surely played pivotal roles in the various trials and tribulations of Britain… but i remember him for his superb sense of humour :)

3 incidents:

He was asked to give an after dinner speech on sex. But was requested to keep it short.

He stood up and said, ” Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure!”

and sat down :)

Sir Winston Churchill

Another time he was drunk, and a lady aghast at his condition, blurted out to him, “Sir, you are drunk!”

“Yes” he slurred, “but in the morning I will be sober, you m’lady are ugly!”

In open parliament, one of the opposition leaders, walks up to him, runs his hand over his shiny bald head and says, “This is so smooth… exactly like my wife’s bottom”

The house erupts into laughter… Churchill meanwhile rubs his own hand on his head, turns to the other and says, “You are right! It is!!!” :) :) :)

Jai Gurudeva!

  4. Vinay Subrahmanya says:

    On the eve of India’s Independence, he had famously said that India will go into the hands of Rascals and Scoundrels, which was an outrageous and an arrogant statement. But sadly what he said was damn utter truth.

    I’ve always liked this quote by Churchill :” History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it. ”

    Ofcourse, I’ve preferred George Bernard Shaw’s brand of humour. For instance,

    ‘Having spotted George Bernard Shaw standing alone in a corner during her dinner party, a hostess anxiously approached her distinguished guest. “Are you enjoying yourself, Mr. Shaw?” she inquired. “Certainly,” Shaw replied. “There is nothing else here to enjoy.”‘ :-)

    Then there was that instance when a beautiful actress told George Bernard Shaw:”If we should get married,then,with your brains and my looks, we’d produce great children.” The writer said, “But madam, what if it’s the other way round?” :-)

    He also won the Nobel Prize for Literature – in 1925.

    Thanks, Bawa for that post on Churchill.Our 21st century is in dire need of such dazzling brilliance in satire and witticisms…or may be ..I have not explored enough, hm? Jgd.

        a very popular one is where shaw invites churchill for d first night of one of his plays.
        He says sumthng like ” I am enclosing two tickets of the play, do come and get along a friend — if you have one.”

        Churchill replies:
        “Sorry, cant come for the first night, will come for the second — if there is one”

    nice one

    Santa Singh sent his bio data to America to apply for a post in Microsoft.

    A few days later he got this reply:-

    “Dear Mr. Singh,
    You do not meet our requirements. Please do not send any further correspondence.
    No phone call shall be entertained.
    Thanks”

    Santa Singh jumped with joy on receiving this reply.

    He arranged a party and when all the guests had come,
    he said “Bhaiyon aur Behno, aap ko jaan kar Khushi hogee ki mujhay Amrika mein Naukri Mil Gayee hai.”
    Everyone was delighted. Santa Singh continued, “Ab main aap sab ko apnaa Appointment Letter padkar sunaongaa, par letter English main hai Isliyen saath-saath Hindi main Translate bhee kartaa jaongaa.”

    ” Dear Mr. Singh —–> pyare singh sahab

    You do not meet —-> aap to miltay hee naheen ho

    our requirement —-> humko to zaroorat hai

    Please do not send any furthur correspondence —-> ab letter vetter bhejnay kee zaroorat nahee hai.

    No phone call —-> phone vone kee bhee zaroorat nahee hai

    shall be entertained —-> bahut khaatir kee jayegi.

    Thanks —-> aapkaa bahut bahut shukriya”
