Bravo!!! :D :D :D

If I may, let me add one..."He's a hero in his own mind."

One by Winston Churchill I always laugh at... I don't recall the lady but one with whom he had a running feud once remarked "If you were my husband I'd give you poison."
to which Mr. Churchill replied "Madam, if I was your husband I'd drink it!" :lol:
