The Queen of England and Winston Churchill shared an intense
antipathy, but had to regularly meet to fulfill their repective functions.
Once, during tes, the Queen smiled sweetly at Sir Winston, and
opined,"Dear Winston, if you were my husband, I would poison your
tea." To which Churchill replied, "Dear Queen, if you were my wife, I
would drink it."
