london stories: churchill & 2nd world war - groucho marx lyrics

churchill & 2nd world war

i don’t know if you remember the 2nd world war, because
there’s so many now, it’s hard to keep track of them.
well, during the 2nd world war, hess had been sent by
hitler to try to negotiate peace with churchill.
churchill at that time was in the projection room at 10
downing street running “monkey business”. he sent an
orderly to the door, and said “tell him to come back
after i’ve seen monkey business, and we’ll discuss
business.”

one night at the emb-ssy winston churchill’s daughter
mary was my dinner partner. when the butler p-ssed around
the cigars, she said “take one for me.” i said “what?
what do you want a cigar for? you don’t smoke cigars, do
you?”. she said “no, but my father does, winston, and we
play a little game.”. i said “what kind of a game?”. “i
take a cigar, and he takes a cigar, and then he bets me a
pound” – i think it was around two and a half dollars –
“and we bet who can hold the ash on the cigar the
longest.” at this time he was running the british
government. now, you never think of a man like that
trying to win two bucks from his daughter.
