Wardroom Conversation
It is the early hours in the Royal Navy Officers Mess "The Wardroom".
The chief steward has been on watch for 12 hours, is very tired and just wants to lock-up the mess and go to bed. However two rather drunk Commanders remain seated slowly drinking their "Pink Gins" deep in a conversation that borders on disagreement.
So the chief steward stands close to the table hoping the commanders will take the hint and leave the mess. They ignore the chief's presence and carry on the argument which is all about sex.
An hour passes and the chief steward is becoming a little impatient as the two commanders remain seated, unable to resolve their argument. Then suddenly one commander turns to the chief and asks him to resolve this argument. "Commander Wilson says that sex is 50% hard work and 50% pleasure, whilst I believe that sex is 40% hard work and 60% pleasure. What is your view chief?"
"100% pleasure Sir" replies the chief, disagreeing with both commanders. Both commanders greet this reply with scorn and demand to know on what grounds does the chief form this opinion?
"Well Sir," the chief replies, "If there was any work involved in the sexual act, both of you would expect me to do it for you".
The commanders leave the mess muttering "insubordination", but fortunately for the chief, were so drunk that neither could remember the incident the following morning.
