...that I read yesterday.
It was decided that sheaths had to be made to protect the barrels of rifles for the Royal Marines for a raid into Norway.
A condom company was asked to produce them.
A box was presented to Winston Churchill to inspect. He pulled one out, looked at it and said, "no this wont do at all".
A Royal Navy officer asks......'But sir, they are the correct 10 inch length for the rifles, what can be wrong with them?'
Churchill growled, 'they must be labelled, British made, medium size - if any get captured the Germans will find out exactly who the master race really are'...

Two more for you from 'The Wicked Wit of Winston Churchill'
Around 1950 he was at a reception in America standing next to a very severe Methodist Minister. An attractive young lady apporached them with a tray of sherry, Churchill had one and she turned to the Minister, 'Young lady, I would rather commit adultery than partake in strong liquor'. As the waitress turned away Churchill called, 'Miss, come back, I did not know we had a choice'.
On the same trip he was in Richmond Virginia.
A rather buxom lady approached him and said 'Mr Churchill, I have travelled 100 miles to see the unveilling of your bust'. 'Madam' Churchill replied looking directly at the lady's prominent assets, 'I would gladly reciprocate the honour'
