I believe the conversation continued with Lady Astor saying, "Sir, if
you were my husband, I would poison your tea." Whereupon Sir Winston
replied,"Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it!"

And he also said that "a preposition is a thing never to end a
sentence with". My favourite though is the reported exchange with Lady
Astor:
Her ladyship -- "Sir, you are drunk!"
Sir Winston -- "and Madam you are ugly; but in the morning I'll be sober"
Happy Easter
