I prefer mine shaken, not stirred. I am parachuting in. The drinks are on me.
Andrzej Mierzejewski Feb 24, 2014:
Or nine martinis for the three of us.
But whose company will the invoice be issued on? ;-)
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 24, 2014:
We have to return to the discussion of the martinis, all three of them (or six for the two of us).
George BuLah (X) Feb 24, 2014:
I slept well last night. And you?

Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 24, 2014:
Lepiej podziw niż zgroza. I take it as a compliment. Should I? We spoke recently about me crying into my beer, while you sip on your martini. Small world!
George BuLah (X) Feb 24, 2014:
Nie bardzo wiem, o co Ci chodzi, bo ja wiem co to są '3-martini-lunches' i jestem pełen podziwu dla Twojego tłumaczenia ;)

George BuLah (X) Feb 24, 2014:
a potem jeżdżą po pijaku ... status cars :)

wystawny lunch w koszty firmy

Propozycja na podstawie:

The three-martini lunch is a term used in the United States to describe a leisurely, indulgent lunch enjoyed by businesspeople or executives. It refers to a common belief that many people in such professions have enough leisure time and wherewithal to consume more than one martini during the work day. Steaks, oysters and lobster are among dishes cited as a staple of these lunches.

As business matters may be discussed at them, three-martini lunches are therefore considered a business expense (which includes travel, meals, etc.) and thus can qualify for a tax deduction.
