Option Renewal
During a speaking tour in Canada, Churchill attended a reception and found himself seated next to a stiff-necked Methodist bishop.
A pert young waitress appeared with a tray of sherry glasses. She offered one to Churchill, which he took, and then one to the Methodist bishop. The bishop was aghast at the alcoholic offer, saying, "Young lady, I’d rather commit adultery than take an intoxicating beverage."
Thereupon, Churchill beckoned the girl. "Come back, lassie; I didn’t know we had a choice."
