Robin’s 2 Cents:
A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a scotch with two drops of water. The bartender hands her the drink and she says, “I’m celebrating my 80th birthday today.”
The bartenders smiles and says, “Well, in that case this one’s on me.”
When she finishes her drink, a woman nearby says, “Let me buy you one too.”
The lady replies, “Thank you. Bartender, another two scotch with two drops of water.”
Then a gentleman on her other side offers, “I’d like to buy you one as well.”
She nods. “Thank you kindly, another scotch with two drops of water.”
Finally, the bartender curiously asks, “Ma’am why do you always order scotch with just two drops of water?”
She grins and says, “Sonny, when you’re my age, you’ve learnt how to hold your liquor, but holding your water… well, that’s another story.”
