The drunkard

At a wine merchant's, the regular taster died & the director started looking for a new one to hire.

A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position. The director of the factory wondered how to send him away.

They gave him a glass to drink. He tried it & said, "It's a Muscat , 3 years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers". Low grade but acceptable. "That's correct", said the boss.

Another glass...."It's a cabernet, 8 yrs old, a south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at 8 degrees. Requires 3 more years for finest results.." "Correct." 

A 3rd glass...''It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade & exclusive'' calmly said the drunk.

The director was astonished. He winked at his secretary to suggest something. She left the room, & came back in with a glass of urine.

The alcoholic tried it. "It's a blonde, 26 yrs old, 3 mths pregnant & if u don't give me the job, I'll name the father."
