A man
asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an
unusually attractive woman sitting alone at a table
in a cozy little restaurant.
So the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and
said, “This is from the gentleman who is seated
over there.”.... and indicated the sender with a
nod of his head.
She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds,
not looking at the man, then decided to send a reply
to him by a note.
The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a
response, took the note from her and conveyed it to
the gentleman.
The note read: 'For me to accept this
bottle, 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, the man decided to compose one of
his own in return. He folded the note, handed it to
the waiter and instructed him to deliver it to the
lady.
It read:
'Just to let you know things aren't always
what they appear to be, I have a Ferrari Maranello,
BMW Z8, Mercedes CL600, and a Porsche Turbo in my
several garages; I have beautiful homes in Aspen
and Miami , and a 10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana .
There is over twenty million dollars in my bank
account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as
beautiful as you, would I cut off three inches.
Just send the wine back.’
