George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill shared a witty and often barbed exchange of humor, particularly during the early 20th century. Shaw, a playwright and socialist, frequently engaged in public debates, while Churchill, a prominent political figure, often responded with humor in his own right. Their humor was often directed at each other, with both men using sarcasm and wit to highlight their differing views. Some of their exchanges here for your reading pleasure :

• Have reserved two tickets for my first night. Come and bring a friend, if you have one,” wired George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill, referring to Pygmalion’s premiere. “Impossible to come to first night. Will come to second night, if you have one,” Churchill wired back.
• Once Winston Churchill Said, “IF U Speak One Word More – I’ll Swallow U.” Bernard Shaw Simply Smiled n Said, “In that case Mr Churchill, U’ll have More Brains in your Stomach than in Ur Head.”
• They were entering a building with a narrow passage enough for only one person at a time. Churchill said, “I will go first. I don’t follow idiots.” Shaw smiled and said, “I do.”
