  Speaker 1: And he would hold cocktail parties for dignitaries and heads
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of state and so at cocktail party, you know, there'd
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be waiters going around with trays of martinis, and people
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: would get drunk and spill secrets and things like that,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and but he wanted to keep a clear head, so
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he said, make my martine, not a martini, it's just
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it's just water. But put an onion in mine so
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that I know which one to take. Nobody will want that. Yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: put an onion, onion, water, cocktail onion in mine. I

  Speaker 1: of the reason I like the shaker. And if it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: not back today, I'll do I'll try that with the glasses.
