6033 - Long joke Sunday


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 woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too."

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

Oh that's a good one!
I'm able to hold my water if I only drink water, but anything sugary like a coffee with the amount of sugar I add or a hot chocolate, and I might as well stay home within easy reach of the toilet.

Mike said...

Kirk - I know for sure you don't have to be 80.

River - Diet soda does it to me. I think it's the aspartame.

Hey Mike, I think that JK Rowling was referring to the time when she was in single mother on public assistance in England before she started writing. Harry Potter. I've heard her refer to that as her rock bottom. As for controversies and all that I discount them all. I've lived too long to worry too much about any of that. Wishing you well my friend. Aloha!
