Nice Comeback!

George Bernard Shaw telegrammed Winston Churchill just prior to the opening of Major Barbara: "Have reserved two tickets for first night. Come and bring a friend if you have one."

Churchill wired back, "Impossible to come to first night. Will come to second night, if you have one."


I know I've seen this quote before, but I read it again today, on a slide in Steve Hickson's Economics Lecture.
