Food Joke

The Chaplain had been assigned to the ship and he noticed how much grief the cooks 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 and a cheerful comment, a willingness to serve them will 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.
