I don't know if you remember the Second World War. I guess there's so many now, it's hard to keep track of them. Well, during the Second World War, Hess had been sent by Hitler to try to negotiate peace with Churchill.

Churchill at that time is in the projection room at 10 Downing Street, running monkey business. He's sending all of it to the door. system to come back after I see monkey business and we'll discuss business. One night at the embassy, Winston Churchill's daughter Mary was my dinner pot and when the butler passed

around the cigars, he said, take one for me. He said, what? What do you want a cigar for? You don't smoke cigars. She said, no one my father does, Winston. And we play a little game. What kind of a game? I take a cigar and he takes a cigar and then he bets me a pound,

I think, was around two and a half dollars. And we bet who can hold the ash on the cigar the longest. At this time he was running the British government. No, you never think of I'm like that.

Trying to win two bucks from a zorro.
