Last Hussar

Apparently when Sunjester knocks at the door and says "I have money for your wife." the correct response is not "Throw in a few figures and you can have her for free."

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Also

When your wife says "Are you trying to poison me?" DO NOT hesitate before answering.

I've always liked the exchange (which I hope is genuine):
Mr Churchill, if I were married to you, I'd poison youir coffee.

Madam, if I were married to you, I'd drink it.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

There are many purportedly true stories of similar exchanges. No doubt polished somewhat in the telling but possibly with a core of truth.

You madam, are ugly.
You, sir, are drunk!!
Yes madam, but in the morning I shall be sober.

Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?
My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course...
Would you sleep with me for five pounds?
Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!
Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price!

I've heard that latter one about Shaw.

"If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea,"
"Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it!"

Feldmarschall von Blucher was at a reception in London after Waterloo and was sitting next to a young lady.

Blucher: 'You have lovely soft hands.'
Lady: 'Thank you, I wear calfskin gloves.'
Blucher: 'I wear calfskin britches but the do nothing for my a*se!'
