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.
