The only example I can think of is of a true story of a famous writer (so famous his name escapes me...) who was asked to give a key note speech at a university.
Before delivering his oration he was handed a glass of fine whiskey and on taking the podium was given a rapturous applause.
When the clapping had died down he drew breath, took a swig from his glass and turned to the audience to say:
"I thank you for your welcome which was very cordial and your cordial, which is very welcome".
