History's Zingers

Tweet

While history can seem a touch dull, it is in fact chock-a-block full of comedy gold. Many people had wit that could cause coffee contamination of one's screen and keyboard. I found some choice Zingers on Cracked.com which takes the lighter, saltier side of life on most subjects. * For example; Winston Churchill and Lady Astor had a long standing feud that had verbal cover fire flying. * [i]Churchill: “What disguise would you recommend I wear to your costume ball?” Astor: “Why don’t you come sober, Prime Minister?” * Astor: “If you were my husband, I’d poison your tea.” Churchill: “Madam, if you were my wife, I’d drink it.”[/i] * For more brutal verbiage, visit http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-10-best-comebacks-of-all-time/
