Navy Friday Funny – The Chief and the Bar Bet

Navy Friday Funny Logo v2

Each military branch of the United States has its own cultures, language, and traditions. In the Navy, the Chief Petty Officer serves a dual role as both a technical expert and as a leader; emphasis being more on leadership. There is always a sense of humor that comes from this culture. For the Navy, I find the more ingenious humor typically involves a CPO.

Enjoy this Navy Friday Funny.


Lady at a Bar: Do you drink beer?

Chief: Yes.

Lady: How many beers a day?

Chief: Usually about 3.

Lady: How much to you pay per beer?

Chief: Here in the US, about $5 with a tip.

Lady: And how long have you been drinking?

Chief: 20 years, give or take.

Lady: So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450 for beer. In one year, you’d spend $5,400, correct?

Chief: Aye, aye.

Lady: If in 1 year, you spend $5,400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your beer budget at $108,000, correct?

Chief: Aye, aye.

Lady: Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest saving account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

Chief: Do you drink beer?

Lady: No… why?

Chief: Where’s your Ferrari?
