In a small mid-western American town there lives a dentist. This dentist is 50-some years old and rather a colorful character. He is known far and wide as "Doc". Everyday Doc knocks off at 5 P.M. sharp, and at 5:05 he is down at Dick's Bar for his cocktail. Ask anyone, and they can tell you the only drink he has ever ordered is a frozen strawberry daquiri, with a pecan in the bottom of the glass.
One day at about 4:45, Dick (the owner AND bartender) began the daily ritual only to find he was out of pecans! After searching frantically for almost 5 minutes, he found a small package of hickory nuts under the bar. Not really having any other choice he made the daquiri with a hickory nut.
Doc came in at 5:05 and sat down at the bar. The Bartender put the daquiri in front of him without a word. The dentist took his first drink and made a funny face. "Is this a pecan daquiri, Dick?"
The bartender said, "No, that is a hickory daquiri, Doc!"
