    Default Ship's Mess

    The Chaplain had been assigned to the Navy ship and he noticed
    how much grief the cooks (Mess Specialists) caught from the
    crew and how they gave back as much as they got.

    He talked to the Food Service Officer and decided to talk to the cooks
    and get them to be more cheerful when they served the meals
    to the sailors coming down the line.

    "A smile, a cheerful comment, and a willingness to serve,
    will all reap great benefits," he told them.

    After his pep talk the Food Service Officer and the Chaplain
    stood back and watched the food being served.

    A new sailor aboard walked down the line but he didn't like
    anything he saw so he just carried his tray down the line
    till he got to the desert section. He picked up a saucer
    containing a large piece of chocolate cake.

    The Mess Specialist looked at him, "Is that all you're gonna
    eat," he asked.

    The sailor said, "Yeah, the rest of it don't look too
    appetizing."

    The Mess Specialist smiled and said, "Well, in that case
    would you like two pieces of cake?"

    The Chaplain smiled and nudged the Food Service Officer in the
    ribs, "I told you my talk did them some good."

    The kid said, "Yeah, man, I'd appreciate it."

    The cook leaned over and cut the piece of cake on the tray
    in half.
    Androgens Order
    Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
    The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

    Better than Rainman's fish sticks. A lot better.
