The way I heard the Churchill story, someone had corrected him for ending a sentence with a preposition. To which WC replied that it was "Arrant pedantry, up with which I will not put."

A pal of mine once claimed that his (precocious) daughter once asked him "Daddy, what did you bring that book I didn't want to be read to out of up for?"
