While waiting for the coffee to finish brewing, he decided to pose a question to his staff.
He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep.
He posed the question as follows: "Just how much of sex is 'work' and how much of it is 'pleasure'?"
The XO chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.
A Captain said it was 50-50%.
The CO's Aide, a 1Lt., responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending on his state of inebriation at the time.
There being no consensus, the CO turned to the LCpl who was in charge of setting out the morning's paperwork and making the coffee.
"What's YOUR opinion, son?"
With out hesitation, the LCpl responded, "Sir, it absolutely has to be 100% pleasure."
Surprised, the CO asked, "Why??"
"Well, Sir", replied the LCpl, "If there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them."
