Apply the old "never end a sentence with a preposition" rule and see what you get.

To quote Winston Churchill, "This is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put."

"This is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put."

This reminds me of an episode of Designing Women. Delta Burke greeted a snobby northern socialite by drawling, "So where are ya'll from?" The woman icily replied, "I am from where one does not end a sentence with a preposition!". Delta never dropped the southern smile, and declared graciously, "I am so sorry, what I meant to say was, where are ya'll from BITCH!"

I like the one reportedly told of Dr. Samuel Johnson.

He was at a supper party seated next to a very grand lady. He had not, alas, the time that day wash himself as well as he might. The poor woman could bear it no longer and declared:

"Dr. Johnson, you smell!"

"No,madame," replied the unflappable lexicographer, "You smell. I stink."
