Quotation from The Joy of Words

:"And do you know," said the Archbishop of Canterbury complaining to Winston Churchill about the upkeep of Lambeth Palace, "we have 42 bedrooms!" Churchill replied, "How very inconvenient." Then he added, "...especially when one reflects that you have only 39 Articles." Doubtless part of the Winston Book of Apocrypha; and in any case now so dated that the story has to be explained to most people under the age of 40.
