[General Mayhem]

Here's two from Fairport Harbor EBFE,

"I had hoped at Anzio to land a wildcat. Instead I have beached a whale."
Churchill on the stalemate at Anzio
This one is possibly apocryphal (sp).
Churchill was supposedly attending a theatre one eveing (after he was out of office.) Two women in the seats in front of him were talking. Unaware that the former Prime minister was behind them. Churchill's name some how came up an the two ladies began to comment unfavorably on him.
"You know I hear that he's still a womanizer ad skirt chaser. Imagine at his age" said one.
"Ohh yes and I've head that he is still quite a drunkard as well Even at his age." said the other.
Churchill leaned forward and in his unmistakable baritone said.
"Yes madam and they say I'm quite deaf as well."

I may have the circumstances wrong and the exactness of it but as I say it may well be apocryphal, but it sounds Churchillian.
