[Ads-l] Quote: Three and I'm under the table. Four and I'm under the Host

[Bill Mullins]

Garson's QI column on the subject line includes a verse from a collection of Playboy's Party Jokes, published in 1963.  The verse originally appeared in the Dec. 1954 issue of Playboy.

1954 Playboy Dec 31/1
Martinis, my girl, are deceiving.
Take two at the very most.
Take three and you're under the table.
Take four and you're under the host.
