    One eared Admiral....

    Years ago, a young Navy Pilot was injured while ejecting from his A-4
    Skyhawk due to engine failure during a catapault shot from the carrier, but due
    to the heroics of rescue helicopter crew and the ship's hospital staff, the
    only permanent injury was the loss of one ear. Since he wasn't physically
    impaired, he remained on flight status 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, Admiral. I couldn't help but
    notice that you are 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 as well.

    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 just how would you know that?" the Admiral asked.

    The Sergeant Major replied: "Well, sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses with
    only one f******' ear.”
