birthday lady


A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. 

As the bartender gives her the drink she says, “I’m on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it’s today…” 

 The bartender says, “Well since it’s your birthday, I’ll buy you a drink. 

In fact, this one is on me.” As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, “I would like to buy you a drink, too.” 

 The old woman says, “Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.” “Coming up,” says the bartender.

 As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, “I would like to buy you one, too.”

 The old woman says, “Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with 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 with only two drops of water?” The old woman replies, “Sonny, when you’re my age, you’ve learned how to hold your liquor. 

 Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.”

 --They Walk Among-- 

 My husband and I went through the McDonald’s driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.

 Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.

 She said, ‘you gave me too much money.’ I said, ‘Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.’

 She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. 

 I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said ‘We’re sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.’ The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change. 

 Do not confuse the people at MacD’s.

 We had to have the garage door repaired. 

 The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a ‘large’ enough motor on the opener. 

 I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. 

 He shook his head and said, ‘You need a 1/4 horsepower.’

 I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, ‘NOOO, it’s not.

 Four is larger than two.’ We haven’t used that repairman since… 

 I live in a semi rural area. 

 We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.

 The reason: ‘Too many deer’s are being hit by cars out here! I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.’ 

 IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE. 

 My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco. 

 She asked the person behind the counter for ‘minimal lettuce.’ He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce. 

 I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, ‘Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?’ 

 To which I replied, ‘If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?’ He smiled knowingly and nodded, ‘That’s why we ask.’

 The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it’s safe to cross the street. 

 I was crossing with an ‘intellectually challenged’ co-worker of mine.

 She asked if I knew what the beeper was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. 

 Appalled, she responded, ‘what on earth are blind people doing driving?!’ She is a government employee….. 

 When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.

 We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door. 

 As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. ‘Hey,’ I announced to the technician, ‘its open!’ His reply, ‘I know.

 I already did that side.’ STAY ALERT! They walk among us, they breed, and they vote…
