The comic then goes on to list numerous other increasingly obscure {{w|body fluid|bodily fluids}}, including through the title text, ending humorously with {{w|gin}} (which Churchill was partial to). | "I have nothing to offer but {{w|blood, toil, tears, and sweat}}" is a famous phrase in a speech given by {{w|Winston Churchill}}, which would be heard on the radio in the 1940s.
