> She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds, not

> 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

> 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 have beautiful homes
