For clarity & completeness: The former quote - “…you are disgustingly drunk…….you will still be disgustingly ugly..” was Churchill to another MP, a famous Labour MP from Liverpool, Bessie Braddock. He was paraphrasing WC Fields from some film, I can’t recall the title.
 

 

 

"In 1934 the joke was used in the W. C. Fields film titled “It’s a Gift”. Fields portrayed a character named Harold Bissonette, and the scene with the quip occurred near the end of the film when a hostile character challenges Fields:

“You’re drunk.”
“Yeah, and you’re crazy, n’ I’ll be sober tomorrow n’ you’ll be crazy for the rest of your life.”"

While this Thread has about run its course, might has well relate another comment from W. Claud Fields.

 

WC was known to carry a flask on a movie set, which he referred to as his "pineapple juice".  Took a sip, now and then.  One of these occasions was when filming "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break."  His foil, Margaret Dumont--who had many a caper with the Marx Brothers' movies--was in that flick.    

 

Sooos:  someone substituted real pineapple juice for the booze in the flask. 

 

Fields' response, upon imbibing:  "What rascal has been putting pineapple juice in my pineapple juice?"

 

O.K.  We now return to our regularly scheduled program.  

 

Save travels.  

 

GOARMY!
