Scotch & Water

Scotch & Water

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two
drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on
this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today."

The bartender says "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a
drink. In fact, this one is on me." As the lady finishes her drink, the
lady to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too."

The old lady says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two
drops of water." "Coming up," says the bartender. As she finishes that
drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to buy you one, too."

The old lady says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with
two drops of water." "Coming right up," the bartender says. As he
gives her the drink, he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the
Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old lady replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to
hold your liquor. Water, however, is a whole other issue."
