"So are there any questions that you have for me?" The Petty Officer in full dress asked from behind his desk after his long winded speech about the benefits of joining the Navy. The scraggly bearded twenty something on the other side of the desk stares at his hands and then consciously in the Navy Man's eyes, answering back "Um.. Yeah. Is it a problem that I'm not at all patriotic?"
"Do you have a criminal record?" The flat top with a face shoots back without missing a beat but the slight twitch in his eye isn't unnoticeable.
The twenty something searches the question for any hidden meanings or tricks. Finally after a notable pause he answers back simply with, "No."
"Perfect."
