> THE MARINE WINE TASTER
> At a wine merchant's warehouse the regular taster died, and the director started looking for a new one to hire. A scruffy retired Marine gunnery sergeant came to apply for the position. The director wondered how to send him away. They gave him a glass to drink.
> The old gunny tried it and said, "It's a Muscat three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers. Low grade but acceptable."
> "That's correct", said the boss. "Another glass, please."
> "It's a cabernet, eight years old, south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at eight degrees.Requires three more years for finest results."
> "Absolutely correct. A third glass."
> ''It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive'' calmly said the old jarhead.
> The director was astonished and winked at his secretary to suggest something. She left the room and came back in with a glass of urine.
> The alcoholic tried it.
> "It's a blonde female, 26 years old, three months pregnant, and if I don't get the job, I'll name the father."
