You guessed it.
You know Churchill was a pilot, right?
I believe it was late 1943 and the Prime Minister decided to visit FDR at the Whitehouse. With Churchill in the pilots seat, the aircraft made it's approach towards the airport when the Washington Monument came into view. Churchill contacted ATC to announce their intent to land, then commented to his co-pilot, "Dear God, look at that thing. It looks like a giant penis." Unbeknownst to the Prime Minister, the ATC overheard the comment and passed the message to his supervisor, who relayed it to the Whitehouse.
In the Newsreel, you see Churchill approach the President and shake his hand. Roosevelt draws near and whispers in his ear, and both men crack up.
But, you can't hear what was said.
What did FDR say?
"I can only imagine the headline; British Prime Minister crashes into Americas pecker."
From A&Es Biography of Winston Churchill.
