I Like Chinese Specialties

The young Chinese, who presumably was the waiter, said with a smile, "Of course. It's a cobra, no less."

Jeff was petrified. "What?"

Luke sipped the wine again.

Thankfully, Tim hadn't crossed a line. This was regular wine, and wasn't drugged.

He smiled. "It's fine. Drinking snake wine occasionally is good for men."

Both Tim and Jeff were lost for words.

"As married middle-aged men, you need this." Luke winked.

Jeff was too naive, and still at a loss.

Tim looked conflicted. "It has this effect?" He looked at the young Chinese.

The young Chinese's eyes sparkled. "You know that?"

Luke was amused. "Yes. However, do you have the legendary Five Venom wine here?"

The young man was stunned. "What?"

"From snake, centipede, scorpion, spider, and gecko," Luke explained with a smile.

With each word he said, the faces of the other two men turned whiter and whiter.
