One evening in Texas, an elderly gentleman spotted an elegant woman dining alone. Hoping to impress her, he asked the waiter to deliver a bottle of Merlot on his behalf.
When the waiter placed the bottle on her table, he explained, “This is from the gentleman seated over there,” nodding toward the man.
The woman glanced at the wine and coolly replied, “Tell him I won’t accept a bottle of Merlot unless he has a Mercedes parked in his garage, a million dollars sitting in the bank, and at least eight inches in his pants.”
The waiter dutifully carried the message back. Without missing a beat, the old man chuckled and said, “Please let her know I do own a Mercedes, and I’ve got a million in the bank… As for the eight inches, I haven’t had that since I was 60. But if she’s interested, I’m willing to cut it in half for her!”
