The Bottle of Merlot

The waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, “This is from the
gentleman seated over there,” indicating the sender. She regarded the wine coolly for a second without looking over at the man, and decided to
send a reply note. The waiter, who was lingering 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 his note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him to
return this to the woman.

It read: “For your information, I have a Ferrari Maranello, a BMW Z8, a
Mercedes CL600 and a Porsche Turbo in my garage. There is over
twenty million dollars in my bank account. However, not even for a woman as beautiful as you would I cut off three inches. Just send the bottle back.”
