Lost Ear!

[Jemisa]

A young Naval Officer was in a terrible car accident, but due to the
heroics of the
Hospital staff the only permanent injury was the loss of one ear.

Since he wasn't physically impaired he remained in the military and
eventually
became an Admiral. However, during his career he was always sensitive
about his appearance.
One day the Admiral was interviewing two Navy Master Chiefs and a Marine
Sergeant Major for his personal staff.

The first Master Chief was a Surface Navy type and it was a great
interview.
At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything
different about me?"

The Master Chief answered, "Why yes sir. I couldn't help but notice you
re missing your starboard ear, so I don't know whether this impacts your
hearing on that side."

The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out of his
office.
The next candidate, an Aviation Master Chief, when asked this same
question,
answered, "Well yes sir, you seem to be short one ear."

The Admiral threw him out also.

The third interview was with the Marine Sergeant Major. He was articulate,
extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the two Master Chiefs
put together. The Admiral wanted this guy, but went ahead with the same
question.
"Do you notice anything different about me?"

To his surprise the Sergeant Major said, "Yes, sir. You wear contact
lenses."

The Admiral was impressed and thought to himself, what an incredibly
tactful Marine. "And how do you know that?" the Admiral asked.
The Sergeant Major replied, "Well sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses
with only one fukcing ear."
