On a cruise ship, a fascinating lady goes to the bar and demands a Scotch, stating that she wants it with only two drops of water. The bartender had no idea he was going to become a part of a fantastic narrative.<\/p>\n
With a glint in her eye, the woman reveals some personal information to the bartender as he gives her a drink. She says that she\u2019s on the cruise to celebrate her 80th birthday, which is really today.<\/p>\n
Her story moves the bartender, who decides to be kind in order to make her day even better. \u201cWell, since it\u2019s your birthday, I\u2019ll buy you a drink,\u201d he offers. Actually, this one is on me.\u201d The lady accepts and enjoys her complimentary drink.<\/p>\n
However, the thoughtful gesture is not forgotten. The woman to her right is affected by the event as well, and she offers to buy her a drink as well. \u201cThank you,\u201d says the old lady, grateful for the companionship and goodwill. \u201cI\u2019d like a Scotch with two drops of water, bartender.\u201d<\/p>\n
She savors her drink once more, and then the guy to her left joins in the impromptu celebration. He, too, wants to give her a drink as a polite gesture. And, once again, the woman accepts graciously, saying, \u201cThank you.\u201d \u201cI\u2019d like another Scotch with two drops of water, bartender.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bartender, who is interested in this process, can\u2019t help but show his interest. He poses the burning question: \u201cMa\u2019am, I\u2019m dying of curiosity; why the Scotch with only two drops of water?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSonny, when you\u2019re my age, you\u2019ve learned how to hold your liquor,\u201d the elderly woman says, with a wicked gleam in her eye and a touch of wisdom. But holding your drink is another story.\u201d<\/p>\n
This endearing joke tells us that age may offer wisdom and a sense of humor about life\u2019s difficulties. It also reminds us that, even on an 80th birthday cruise, the elderly have their own distinct way of enjoying life\u2019s basic joys and fellowship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
