PERSONAL GLIMPSES X

From Reader's Digest

At a dinner for Commonwealth heads of state some years ago, the chief of protocol saw a guest pocket a gold salt-cellar. He asked Winston Churchill what he should do. "Leave it to me," said Sir Winston, and proceeded to pocket a gold pepper shaker. He then turned to the guilty party and whispered, "Oh, dear, the chief of protocol saw. We'd better put them both back."
