Impossible for me not to reply with a couple of martini aphorisms I recently 
came across in a cocktail lounge on Queen Mary 2:

One martini is alright, two is too many, three is not enough - James Thurber

When I have one martini I feel bigger, wiser, taller. When I have the 
second, I feel superlative.When I have more, there's no holding me - William 
Faulkner

You can no more keep a martini in the regrigerator than you can keep a kiss 
there. The proper union of gin and vermouth is one of the happiest marriages 
on earth - and one of the shortest lived - Bernard DeVoto

I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast - W.C. Fields

T'was a woman drove me to drink, and I never had the decency to thank her 
for it - also, not surprisingly,  W.C. Fields

If the Lord hadn't intended  to create the three-martini lunch, then why do 
you suppose he put all those olive trees in the Holy Land?
  - former House speaker Jim Wright

Let's slip out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini - Robert Benchley

............and reportedly, Humphrey Bogart's last words:

I should never have switched from scotch to Martinis
