When someone asks for a screwdriver, a person might respond, “What type of screwdriver?” A screwdriver cocktail was probably not requested, but this joke was posted on Twitter by SneezingWithWetMascara on May 5, 2020:
“Me: Please bring me a screwdriver.
Him: Flat head, Phillips, or Vodka?
And that was when I knew he was the one.”
The joke has also been told with the sexes reversed and the punchiline, “And that was when I knew she was the one.”
Wikipedia: Screwdriver (cocktail)
A screwdriver is a popular alcoholic highball drink made with orange juice and vodka. While the basic drink is simply the two ingredients, there are many variations. Many of the variations have different names in different parts of the world.
