Today Is My Birthday

A woman is in the bar of a cruise ship and she asks the bartender for a scotch and two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink, she says, "It's my birthday today, and I'm on the cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday." 

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday I'll buy you a drink; in fact, I'll take care of this one for you." 

As the women finishes her drink the woman to her right says, "I guess I should buy you a drink." 

The old woman says, "All right. Bartender, I want a scotch and two drops of water." 

"All right," says the bartender. As she finishes her drink, the man to her right says, "Since I'm the only one around you that hasn't bought you a drink, I guess I might as well buy you one." 

The old woman says, "All right. Bartender I want a scotch and 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 and only two drops of water?" 

The old woman replies, "Sonny, you learn that when you're my age, you can hold your liquor but you sure can't hold your water."

Two Drops

   

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."
