My ancestor's diary has this entry:

Redcoat walks into a tavern. There's an innkeeper.

The innkeeper says, "What will you have?" The Redcoat says, "Din." The innkeeper brings back the best gin ever and says to the Redcoat, "Are you smart?" The Redcoat says, "Very". The inmkeeper then proceeds to talk about shipbuilding, colonizing America and musketry.

The Redcoat leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the tavern. The innkeeper bartender says," What will you have?" The Redcoat says, "Gin". Again, the innkeeper makes a great gin, gives it to the Redcoat and says, "Are you smart?" The guy says, "Average." The innkeeper starts to talk about horses, women and drinking.

The Redcoat leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the Tavern. The innkeeper says, "What will you have?" The Redcoat says, "Gin", and the innkeeper brings him another great gin. The innkeeper then says, "Are you smart?" The Redcoat says, "Uh, No." The innkeeper leans in real close and says, "So, you people still happy you backed England during the Rebellion?"

Interesting that you should say that because I am an historian and I just recalled this texts recovered from a cave in Israel...

Centurion walks into a tavern. There’s an innkeeper.

The innkeeper says, “What will you have?” The Centurion says, “Wine.” The innkeeper brings back the best wine ever and says to the Centurion, “Are you smart?” The Centurion says, “Very”. The innkeeper then proceeds to talk about creating aquaducts, architecture, and civil government.

The Centurion leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the tavern. The innkeeper says,” What will you have?” The Centurion says, “Wine”. Again, the innkeeper makes a great goblet of wine, gives it to the Centurion and says, “Are you smart?” The guy says, “Average.” The innkeeper starts to talk about horses, women and drinking.

The Centurion leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the Tavern. The innkeeper says, “What will you have?” The Centurion says, “Wine”, and the innkeeper brings him another great wine. The innkeeper then says, “Are you smart?” The Centurion says, “Uh, No.” The innkeeper leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you didn’t back the Christians during this rebellion?” Said the innkeeper, “Cause I am still catching hell for making his family sleep in a freaking barn”.
