![The Old Lady, the Bartender and the Scotch](https://en.bcdn.biz/images/jokes/320x192/2e2f4ca8-fc50-4138-8b5e-af0a0a6988c6.jpg)
A lady went to the bar on a cruise ship, and ordered a Scotch, with two drops of
water. The bartender gave her the
drink, and she said, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday, and it's today."
The bartender said, "Well, since it's your birthday, this one's on me."
As the lady finished her
drink, a woman, to her right, said, "I'd like to buy
you a
drink, too."
The lady said, "Thank
you, how sweet of
you. OK, then, Bartender, I want another Scotch, with two drops of
water."
"Coming up," said the bartender.
As she finished that
drink, a man, to her left, said, "I'd like to buy
you a
drink too." The lady said, "Thank
you very much, my dear. Bartender, I'll have another Scotch, with two drops of
water."
"Coming right up," the bartender said.
As he gave her the
drink, this time, he said, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity.
Why the Scotch with only two drops of
water?"
The old woman giggled, and replied, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor.
Water, however, is a whole other issue."
