The Bottle of Merlot

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 have beautiful homes  in  Aspen  and   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'
