An elderly gentleman was enjoying a quiet evening at an elegant restaurant when he noticed a beautiful woman sitting alone at a nearby table.
Hoping to impress her, he called the waiter over and asked him to send her a bottle of fine Merlot.
The waiter delivered the wine with a polite smile.
“Compliments of the gentleman over there, madam.”
The woman glanced at the bottle, then at the old man, and decided to send him a little challenge.
She wrote a note and handed it to the waiter.
It 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.”
The old man read the note, chuckled to himself, and calmly wrote a reply.
He folded the paper, handed it to the waiter, and asked him to deliver it to the woman.
The note said:
“For your information, I have a Ferrari Maranello, a BMW 28, a Mercedes CL600 and a Porsche Turbo in my garage. There are over twenty million dollars in my bank account. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you would I cut three inches off. Just send the bottle back.
