Classic Beef

Ok, so most of us know about the beef Churchill had with this little fellow who went by the name of Adolf, but what you may not know is the beef he had with a woman called Lady Nancy Astor. Instead of battling it out on the frontlines of Europe, they would get at each other at cocktail parties and various socialite events. You could say they were the 2Pac and Biggie smalls of their time (another classic beef). Anyway, here are a couple of the more entertaining one-liners they threw at each other.

Chrurchill: “So, you are once again organizing some stupid masquerade ball. What disguise should I wear so that nobody recognizes me?”

Lady Astor: "Why don't you come sober, Prime Minister?"

Lady Astor: "If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea,"

Churchill: "Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it!"
