Would someone be so kind as to translate this old Winston Churchill quote to the Italian? It's for a small joke to an Italian friend of mine. He's from the Surdo, Cosenza area if that means something in regards to the dialect. Thanks...Joe B.

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.

Non dovete mai fare i dibattiti con la scimmia quando il suonatore di organetto e presente.
