On a cruise, an old lady bellies up to the bar and orders a whiskey with two drops of water. The bartender sets it up, gives it to her and asks her what the occasion is.
The old lady says "I came on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday, and today is that day."
The bartender says "Congratulations! Since this is your birthday, it's on me."
The lady slaps the drink down, and the gentleman sitting next to her gives her congratulations as well, and orders another whiskey with two drops of water for her as well.
As she finishes that drink, a lady sitting on the other side of her does the same - a whiskey with two drops of water.
This goes on for a while, and finally the bartender, noticing that she does not seem to be tiring of it, asks her "I'm curious - why a whiskey with just two drops of water?"
The old lady looks at the bartender and says "Sonny, by the time you get to be my age, a lady knows how to hold her liquor. It's holding the water that is the problem."
