Love it! Another classic Churchill insult is in the exchange between him and George Bernard Shaw:
Shaw's note to Churchill: "I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend ... if you have one."
Churchill's response: "Cannot possibly attend first night; will attend second, if there is one."
