BLUE BLOOD
A snobbish old major was asked by a colonel to recommend a man for a certain job. The major wrote back: “Mr. Blank is an excellent young man. He is the son of Major Blank, the grandson of General Blank, the cousin of Lord Blank, and is otherwise well related.” The colonel wrote back: Thank you very much for your letter of recommendation concerning Mr. Blank. But I must point out that we require him for clerical work — not for breeding purposes.”
