As she finishes that drink, the man to her left chimes in, “I would like to buy you one, too.”
Again, the old woman responds with gratitude, “Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.”
“Coming up,” the bartender says with a smile.
Now, as he gives her the drink, he can’t help but ask, “Ma’am, I’m dying of curiosity, why the Scotch with only two drops of water?”
The old woman, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, replies, “Sonny, when you’re my age, you’ve learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.”
