In reply to Datsun310Guy :
There is a story like that in the veterinary world where the senior vet is showing the students something and sticks his finger in something gross (pigs rectum for example) then licks it and pronounces the diagnosis. At this point he may or may not have the students do the same thing. After the students finish retching he points out their lack of observation: he poked with his index finger and licked his middle finger.

We had a older guy that would chew on a piece of rubber and then smell it and then tell you the durometer and type of material.
I was his replacement and I asked him about it many years later. He winked and told me it was all showmanship.
I mess around with the rookie in our machine shop, when he asks what kind of material (type of metal) a job is. I'll hold up a part and "taste" it.
"This is A2 tool steel"
Is this political?
In reply to Toyman01 :
No, although wishing to kill anyone is of questionable taste.

Have you seen the crap I drive? Questionable taste is my forte.
In reply to Toyman01 :
Slight difference between driving crap cars and deciding if somebody should die.

It's entirely possible he would only desire to maim them.
