Churchill once asked the wife of one of his associates, during a distinguished dinner party, but after several glasses of claret, If she would sleep just one night with a man of his choosing for a million dollars. (Translate this to some 50 million of today's dollars. )

She giggled and replied that, yes, she supposed she would, for that kind of pocket money.

Churchill then asked if she would sleep with that same unidentifiable man for ten dollars.

She scoffed and asked, "What do you think I am, a common whore?"

Churchill retorted, "We have already established that you are. Now we are just haggling price."
