An old woman is in the bar of a cruise ship and she asks the bartender for a scotch and two drops of water.<O:P></O:P>

As the bartender gives her a drink she says, "It's my birthday today and
I'm on the cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday."<O:P></O:P>

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday I'll buy you a drink.
In fact I'll take care of this one for you."<O:P></O:P>

As the woman finishes her drink a woman to her right says, "I guess I should buy you a drink too."<O:P></O:P>

The 80 year-old woman says, "Alright. Bartender I want a scotch and two drops of water."<O:P></O:P>

"Alright" says the bartender.<O:P></O:P>

As she finishes her drink, the man to her left says, "Since I'm the only one around you that hasn't bought you a drink I guess I might as well buy you one too."<O:P></O:P>

The old woman says, "Alright, bartender I want a scotch and two drops of water."<O:P></O:P>

"Comin' right up" the bartender says.<O:P></O:P>

As he gives her the drink he says, "Ma'am I'm dying of curiosity. Why the scotch and only two drops of water?"<O:P></O:P>

The woman replies, "Sonny, you learn that when you're my age, you can hold your liquor but you sure can't hold your water!"
