80 Year Old Lady Goes For A Birthday Drink

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.”
