“Winston’s Hiccup”
A long-living joke about the size of Saudi Arabia is attributed to English Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. The joke was that when he was drawing up the boundaries for Saudi Arabia and Jordan, he hiccuped from the copious amounts of brandy he was drinking. The hiccup caused his hand to slip and bequeath a few extra thousand miles to Saudi Arabia.
