The jokes usta be, "What's a dry martini?", "dry" denoting how much
Vermouth. The "drier" a martini, the less Vermouth it contained. My
fave was, "pour 3 shots of gin and whisper 'Vermouth' over the top. I
heard Churchill's stock answer was, "drink a shot of gin while viewing
at a bottle of Vermouth from across the room." There's a jillion of
'em.
