A well-dressed gentleman entered an upscale restaurant
in the East End of Manhattan, and took a seat at the bar.
The
bartender came over and asked, "What can I get you to drink, sir?"
The
gentleman responded, "Nothing, thank you. I tried alcohol once, didn't like
it, and never tried it again."
The
bartender was a bit perplexed, but being a friendly sort, he pulled out a pack
of cigarettes and offered the gentleman one.
The
gentleman refused, saying, "I tried smoking once, didn't like it, and never
did it again.
The
point is, I wouldn't be in here at all, except that I'm waiting for my
son."
The
bartender retorted, "Your only child, I presume?"
