It's probably in one of those links but the following exchange between GeorgeBernardShaw and a young WinstonChurchill is one of my favourites. Shaw had written a new play which was shortly to open in London. He wrote to Churchill along the following lines:
"I have pleasure in enclosing two tickets for the opening night for you and a friend - if you have one."
To which Churchill replied:
"I regret that I am not available on the opening night and am returning the tickets. I would however be grateful for tickets for the second night - if you have one."
