Humor – A lady and a millionaire

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 also have beautiful homes in Aspen, Miami, and a 10,000 acre ranch in Louisiana.”

“There is over twenty-million dollars in my bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you are, would I cut off three inches. Just send the bottle back.”

Mom’s birthday

Mom and dad

April 6 was mom’s 73rd birthday and we celebrated it with a family dinner as we always do.

There was dad and mom, Rehana and me, sister Carol, her hubby Tze Foong, children, Aaron and Arielle, mom-in-law and nanny Moon.

Mom decided on Vietnamese for a change. Excellent choice, mom!

Carol chose a quiet and cosy restaurant aptly named “Vietnam Kitchen”.

I love the use of lemongrass, basil and other herbs in Vietnamese cooking. They add so much flavor to their cuisine. The stir-fried beef was my favorite. I guess everyone enjoyed the deep-fried fish since they ordered and finished a second plate of it.

Rehana enjoyed her drink, which was a blend of avocado and red beans. I know. It didn’t seem right to me too at first, but she loves avocado. Turned out well though. It was creamy and yummy.

Ended the evening with mom blowing off the candles on her birthday cake. It was a coffee cake with chocolate chunks on top.

I would have taken more photos but was too busy enjoying my meal. Lol!

Our thanks go to Carol and Tze Foong for a lovely evening. Here’s to many more birthdays, mom!
