In a separate thread a few Boneyarders cited Sir Winston Churchill and George Bernard Shaw as authoritative backups in literary disputes. Both have been cited as the subject of the ultimate (apocryphal) smackdown. Here goes:

Ether Sir Winston or GBS was in attendance at a lavish party, imbibing liberally. A female adversary (critic or political foe) was also sloshing them down. As the evening wore on, our renowned gentleman (fueled by alcohol) accosted the lady and made a mischievous proposition: 'I am curious. Would you condescend to sleep with me for, say, a thousand pounds [about 3,000 bucks]?' Her guarded response: 'Hmmm. A thousand pounds? I would certainly consider it.' Next, he countered: 'Well, would you do it for 20 shillings?' Highly insulted, she replied indignantly: 'Of course not! What do you think I am?' With a twinkle in his eye, he delivered the ultimate smackdown response: 'We've already decided what you are. We are now negotiating the price.' ;)
