An Englishman walked into a bar in Berlin and ordered dry Martini. He
got three.
A Frenchman walked into a bar in Edinburgh and ordered trois bières. He
got two.

There's also this one,

closer to home, in the Lake District, where I drank a glass recently
after climbing to the top of Catbells; on the shores of Derwent Water.
Staggeringly beautiful on a rain-free day!

Could you explain this one a bit further please. Twa and Trois do not
even seem close in pronunciation in my ears. Could be I pronounce
differently because Dutch. How to make pronunciation clear across this
group in unclear to me as I do not understand the shorthand notes
existing for this problem.

First one is no problem as indeed the English "Dry" and the German
"Drei" are similarly pronounced.

"Trois", as pronounced by English speakers attempting to pronounce the
French uvular "r" and failing at it, comes out sounding /very/ like
Scots "twa". (As a semiprofessional opera singer, I am all too familiar
with the problem; I have it myself.)

First has a clear "r" followed by a faint "w" type of sound due to
following letters (some like tr'w'a). Second has a clear "w" type of
sound with a hint of an "r" in it due to the "a" following (some like
tw"r"a). Similar but distinct I think.

Thanks for the examples!
