Bottle of Merlot
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, Bentley
Convertible, Mercedes SL600, and a Porsche Carrera 4
in several garages; I have beautiful homes in Aspen ,
Italy , South Florida and a 10,000 acre ranch in
California . There is over one hundred and sixty
million dollars in my bank account and portfolio. But,
not even for a woman as beautiful as you are, would I
cut off three inches. Just send the bottle back."
