During a visit to America, Winston Churchill was
invited to a buffet luncheon at which cold fried
chicken was served. Returning for a second helping,
he asked politely, "May I have some breast?"
"Mr. Churchill," replied the hostess, "in this
country we ask for white meat or dark meat."
Churchill apologized profusely.
The following morning, the lady received a
magnificent orchid from her guest of honor. The
accompanying card read:
"I would be most obliged if you would pin this on
your white meat."
