A BOTTLE OF MERLOT
 

I couldn't resist - sorry.

A 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, BMW Z8, Mercedes
CL600, and a Porsche Turbo in my several garages; I have
beautiful homes in Aspen and Miami , and a 10,000 acre
ranch in Louisiana . There are over twenty million dollars
in my bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman
as beautiful as you, would I cut off three inches. Just
send the wine back...."
