Welcome
Welcome to The Wine Room
Wine, the drink of the gods, and pretty much everyone else. The drink of romantic evenings, and lazy summer nights. It's pricing is as diverse as there are classes of people, you can purchase it as cheaply as just a few dollars to hundreds of dollars...this range of pricing is unique to itself...I've never seen a bottle of beer go for hundreds and I doubt I ever will.
Waiter!...There's
a fly in my Wine!
A dinner party of different nationalities had arrived at a restaurant.
They each ordered a glass of wine, but when the wine arrived they
noticed that each of the glasses had a fly in it.
* The Swede demanded to have new wine in the same glass.
* The Englishman demanded to have new wine in a new glass.
* The Finn picked the fly out of the wine and drank the wine.
* The Russian drank the wine, fly and all.
* The Chinese ate the fly but left the wine.
* The Jew caught the fly and sold it to the Chinese.
* The Roman drank two thirds of the wine and then demanded to have new
wine.
* The Norwegian took the fly and went off to fish for cod.
* The Irishman ground the fly and mixed it in the wine, which he then
donated to the Englishman.
* The American sued the restaurant and claimed for a 65 million dollar
compensation for mental suffering.
* The Scotsman grabbed the fly by the throat and roared: 'Now spit out
all that you swallowed!!'
The
Temperance Lecture
A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression
he
said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it
into the river."
With even greater emphasis, he said, "And if I had all the wine in the
world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."
And then, finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world,
I'd take it and throw it into the river." He sat down.
The
song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a pleasant
smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365: 'Shall We Gather
At the River.'"
Give me a
bottle...or two...
A
wino dug around through all his pockets and produced $5.00. He went to
the corner market, laid out the cash and asked for as much cheap wine
as he could get. The clerk handed him 2 bottles and the wino departed.
He went down the alley, downed both bottles, and passed out.
A little while later a homosexual, depressed from a night of
rejection, wandered down the same alley. He saw the wino, thought about
it, and decided he would have his way after all. However, upon
finishing the deed, he felt really guilty. He checked and only had
$10.00, so he put it in the wino's coat.
The next night, the wino discovers the $10.00, walks into the
corner store and asks for as much wine as he could get. The clerk hand
over 4 bottles which the wino then takes down the alley, consumes, and
passes out.
Sure enough, the same homosexual passes through the alley. This
time, however, he is with 9 of his gay friends. Upon seeing the wino,
he confesses the previous night's deed. His friends are intrigued, so
as a group, they take their turns with the wino. And like the night
before, each one leaves $10.00 for the wino.
The next day the wino finds the $100.00 and goes into the corner
store. He asks the clerk for 2 bottles of the nicest wine that his
$100.00 could get him. The astonished clerk replies that for $100.00,
he could get 40 bottles of the cheap stuff. The wino demands finer
wine, explaining that the 'cheap stuff' was really tearing his ass up.
