[cobra de capell]

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 delivered 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. The note read, "I have a Ferrari Maranello, BMW Z 8, Mercedes
CL600, and a Porsche Turbo in my several garages. I have large, beautiful
homes in Aspen, Miami, and a 10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana. There is over
20 million dollars in my bank and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as
beautiful as you are, would I cut off three inches. Just send the bottle
back."
