Two things I like about Swedes;
1. They love to get drunk.
2. They love silly word play jokes.
I remember a dinner party I held for some Swedish friends, despite speaking excellent English they repeatedly broke into fits of laughter over the fact that we had a vegetable called a swede.
(Of course they were exceedingly drunk at the time ....)

I'm a Sweed? Yes, but not the vegetable one! 🙂
Okay, the Drei Martini answer was correct.
In Munich there was also an italian place. I went there and at the bar I ordered, in my best Italian language I could produce, Vorrei Martini per favore. And she asked me Cuanto? (How many?) Why did she do that?
(This question is not very much serious either.)

"Dry" = "drei" = "three" in German.
If this were L.A., you'd be laughed out of the Laugh Factory. Time to get some better material. 😞
Two Germans walk into a British bar. The bartender offers - dry martini? - to which the Germans reply - no, zwei martini.
(zwei = two in german)

And did she ask 'how many?' because there wasn't an 'uno' before the 'martini'?

A hint: The bartender was not very good bartender.
Another joke that dosn't merit any comedy house, stand-up nor sit-down:
A language professor went into a bar ordering a Martino. "Ah, you mean Martini?" "No, if I wanted more than one, I would have told you so."
And this was the last hint.

I don't know about that question about the bad bartender, all I can figure I've already posted.
Originally posted by FabianFnasi think the joke is that "i" is the plural masculine suffix in italian, whereas "o" is the singular masculine. and since the drink martini ends in "i" an italian bartender would assume the plural was being requested?

A noun ending with -o is singular.
A noun ending with -i is plural.
