anecdote involving Clement Atlee:

Churchill walks into the men's room at the House of Commons and finds Atlee
positioned at one end of a line of urinals. Churchill positions himself at the
opposite end.

Atlee says: "A bit standoffish today, are we Winston?"

Churchill replies: "Well I don't dare stand next to you. Every time you see something
big you want to nationalize it."
