ReinoIhr Lebensgefährte Peter Vogel beging 1978 Selbstmord.
Bei Kenntnis der http://members.aon.at/erikapluhar/ erinnert mich das an den folgenden Dialog, der gerne Winston Churchill zugeschrieben wird:
Lady Astor: „If I were married to you, I’d put poison in your coffee.“
Reply: „If I were married to you, I’d drink it.“
Churchill biographer Sir Martin Gilbert said this exchange was more likely to have occurred between Lady Astor and Churchill’s good friend F.E. Smith, Lord Birkenhead, a notorious acerbic wit. But both ConsueloVanderbilt (The Glitter and the Gold) and Christopher Sykes (Nancy: The Life of Lady Astor) say the riposte was by Churchill. The argument was rendered moot when Fred Shapiro, in The Yale Book of Quotations, tracked the origins of the phrase to a joke line from a 1900 edition of The Chicago Tribune.
