| Wine for the Lady? Posted: 5/27/2008 9:42:39 PM | A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually beautiful woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little cafe.
So, the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, "This is from that gentleman seated over there," indicating the sender with a nod of his head.
She stared at the wine coolly for a few moments without looking up at the man, then decided to send a reply to him by a note. The waiter, hovering nearby for a response, took the note from her and delivered it to the gentleman.
The lady's note read:
"For me to accept your gracious offer of the bottle of wine, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and 7 inches in your pants."
After reading the note and carefully pondering her reply, he decided to compose his own little note in return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and asked him to take it back it to the lady.
The man's note read:
"Just to let you know that things aren't what they may appear to be. I own a Ferrari Maranello, BMW Z8, Mercedes CL600 and a Porsche Turbo, which I house in several garages. Furthermore, I have beautiful homes in Aspen and Miami, as well as a 10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana. There's over 20 million dollars in my bank accounts and portfolio. But, NOT even for a woman as beautiful as you, would I cut off three inches. So just send the bottle back." | |
