Funny Poop

·       A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water.  As the bartender gives her the drink she says "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today".  

The bartender says "Well, since it's your birthday, this ones on me.  

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says "I would like to buy you a drink, too".

The old woman says "Thank you" and the bartender gives her a Scotch with two drops of water.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says "I would like to buy you one, too".

She says "Thank you. Bartender, another Scotch with two drops of water".

"Coming right up" the bartender says.  As he gives her the drink, he says "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity.  Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old woman replies "Son, at my age you've learned how to hold your liquor; but holding your water is a whole other matter".
