The taster at a wine merchant’s had died, and the director wanted to hire a new one. But when a tramp who looked like a drunkard applied, the company director wondered how to get rid of him. Finally he decided to go through the motions of an interview and then be able to dismiss the man as not having the necessary experience. So he gave him a glass of wine and asked for his opinion.
The tramp tried it and said “ It’s a Muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers, low grade but acceptable”.
“That’s correct’ said the surprised boss and gave him another glass.
“It’s a Cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at 8c. It requires three more years for the finest results”.
“Very well done”. A third glass.
“It’s a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive”. The tramp said.
The director was astonished and asked his secretary to fetch another wine. She left and returned a few minutes later with a glass of urine.
The tramp tried it. “It’s a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant – and if you don’t give me the job, I’ll name the father” he announced.
