A huge woman in a sleeveless sundress walked into a club, boldly extending her right arm to display a rather hairy armpit. She pointed at the patrons and asked, “Which one of you fine gentlemen is going to buy a lady a drink?”

Everyone at the pub pretended not to hear her, resulting in an uneasy silence. But from the far end of the bar, a bleary-eyed drunk slammed the counter and yelled, “Get the ballerina a drink!”

The bartender poured the drink, and the woman drank it all in one go. She returned to the throng, made the same gesture, exposed her hairy armpit again, and asked, “Who’s buying the next one?”

Again, the same alcoholic threw his hand down and roared, “Give the ballerina another drink!” Curious, the bartender leaned over to the man and inquired, “Hey, it’s your money, but why do you keep calling her ballerina?” The drunk grinned and mumbled, “Any woman who can raise her leg that high must be a ballerina!”
