Landlady Outdrinks Naval Captain

In a post a few days ago I told about my landlady at her son's wedding driving her car with the windows closed so people wouldn't know her car was not air conditioned.  She had a great sense of humor.  Her daughter was married to a officer in the Air Force and they were stationed in the Washington D.C. area at the time this took place.  Her son,  an ensign,  was also stationed nearby so it was a convenient  time to visit. My landlady was watching her daughter prepare food and drinks for a party they were hosting and decided she would drink water but out of a martini class and with an olive. During the party she got to talking with the Naval captain on whose staff her son served.  She became so involved and excited hearing the captain praise her son so much that she consumed one fake martini and olive after another.  The captain tried to keep up with her, but of course his martinis were gin. The next day the captain told her son,   " Your mother can really hold her liquor.  I never believed a woman  could drink me under the table."
