I didn't encrypt this because it was mild enough for any PG movie.
Flames to /dev/null.

   It had been a slow night in the pub, and the only people present
were the veteran bartender and a very drunk regular at the far end of
the bar.  A man walked in, sat down at the bar, and told the bartender
that he would like a glass of twelve-year-old scotch.  The bartender,
not at all impressed, simply reached down below the man's view and
poured him a glass of his standard six-year-old bar brand.  The man
took one sip, sighed, and resignedly said, "It happens every time.
This is six-year-old scotch.  Will you please give me some TWELVE-
year-old scotch like I asked for?"  The bartender was a little taken
aback, but basically undaunted.  He reached below the counter again
and poured the man a glass of ten-year-old scotch.  This time, the
man took a sip and looked the bartender straight in the eye.  "Maybe
you have a hearing problem.  I distinctly asked for TWELVE-YEAR-OLD
SCOTCH, not TEN-year-old scotch.  Now give me what I want or I'll just
have to go to another bar!!"  The bartender, totally amazed and beaten,
gave the man a glass of good twelve-year-old scotch on the house.
   The drunk at the other end of the bar had been listening to this little
drama, and his eyes had become wider and wider as it had progressed.
He now staggered over to the newcomer, set a glass down in front of him,
and said, "Taste thish".  The man looked at him in amazement, but the
drunk simply slurred his request once more.  The man shrugged his
shoulders and took a healthy swig out of the glass, and immediately
spit it out on the floor.  "That tastes like piss!!!", he cried.  To
which the drunk said, "Yesh, but how old am I?"
