<< Greetings good list folks,
I can't resist. My wife's grandfather was a cook in the army in WW1 in
France. Acording to the army he was trained and qualified as an auto
mechanic.....so they made him a cook! "Anyone want more 90 wt on those
pancakes?!

I worked with two fellows who were cousins from Brooklyn. One came from a
branch of the family who had worked on things mechanical going back to
probably the Roman chariots. (Mandatory mil-veh content...anyone got one for
sale?) The other came from the branch of the family who had always owned
restaurants, and as a kid, he had mastered salads, sauces, desserts, etc that
were world class concoctions. They enlisted in the 1960's under the then
popular "buddy system".
I will leave it to the intuitive readers to guess which one became the
tracked vehicle mechanic, and which one the field cook.
