The Army Base

[marval]

A group of senior citizen ladies were touring an Army base, and part of the tour included a meal at the chow hall. After Sergeant Ramsey showed the ladies the barracks, drill field, exercise area, stockade, and the Colonel's and staff offices, it was off to the mess hall.

After finishing the meal and the Sergeant telling the ladies of the 15,000 meals served each day, the 7,500 pounds of chicken, 150 pounds of butter, and 300 pounds of sugar used each day in meal preparation and serving, it was off to the kitchen area where the meals were prepared.

The Sergeant wanted to impress the ladies, so he showed them all of the stainless steel pots that held 200 pounds of mashed potatoes, the freezers that were 50-feet long, and the dishwashers that had such hot water that all germs would be killed.

Then the tour was off to the baking area where cookies were being made. The cookies were cut into shapes by an automated cookie-cutter, and then put on a conveyor belt going into the oven.

As the belt took the morsels toward the oven, a big soldier who was shirtless would pick up each cookie, press it to his belly-button, and then put it back on the conveyor belt.

One of the ladies asked why he was doing that procedure. To that, the Sergeant said that he was doing that to make designs on the cookies.
Then the same lady asked, "Isn't that awfully unsanitary?"

To that he answered, "Lady, you should have been here yesterday when we were making the donuts!"

very funny - but put me off ring doughnuts. From now on I shall only eat jammy ones. Reminds me of my ex brother-in-law who worked in Brains where they made the faggots. It was his job to see to the sauce that went over them. He used to taste it to see if it had the right ingredients. Although it was probably done in a hygienic way, I can never, ever, eat Mr. Brain's faggots. I always imagine him dipping his finger in it and licking it. Eeuch!!

I know a lad who worked at the Co-op where they made the pork pies. He was the one who stuck his finger in the pastry then poured the gravy in the hole. He complained his finger was always sore.
