This reminds me of:

Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?
Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course…
Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?
Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!
Churchill: Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

The audience was obviously inclined to disagree with Milton Friedman, but overall, they seemed pretty well behaved. Does anybody doubt that if this were occur today, he’d be shouted down and called a fascist?
