I just remembered this story...

[angelophile]

I'm pretty sure it was Lord George Brown who was Foreign Minister in the Wilson Government back in the 1960s, who was allegedly rather fond of the bottle. The story goes that he was at an official reception in Peru and had had a few too many to drink. A band started to play and so Lord George Brown turned to the person next to him asking "Madam, would you care to dance?"

"Certainly not," came the curt reply. "For three reasons.

One, you're drunk.

Two, they're playing the Peruvian National Anthem

And three, I happen to be the Archbishop of Lima."

Sounds like a Bushism.

In other news, my mouth aches because someone started me of in a giggling fit for a couple of hours last night and I couldn't stop.

Ow.
