A young AF fighter pilot suffered a severe injury during an ejection from his crippled jet during a combat mission over Viet Nam. The intensity of the wind as his seat was rocketed clear of the cockpit blasted his helmet from his head and ripped off both ears. However, despite the horrific injury his hearing wasn't impaired and he was allowed to remain in the AF. Many years later he eventually rose to the rank of Major General. He was, however, very sensitive about his appearance.

One day the General was interviewing three prospective candidates for a position on his headquarters staff.

The first was a C-17 Pilot and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the General asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?"
The young officer answered, "Why, yes, Sir, I couldn't help but notice that you have no ears." The General got very angry at his lack of tact and threw him out.

The second interview was with a Logistics Lieutenant, and his interview was even better. The General then asked him the same question, "Do you notice anything different about me?" He replied sheepishly, "Well, Sir, you have no ears." The General, now really ticked, threw him out also.

The third interview was with a Master Sergeant, who was a C-130 Loadmaster by trade. He was articulate, looked extremely sharp and seemed to know more than the two officers combined. The General wanted this guy, and went ahead with the same question, "Do you notice anything different about me?" To his surprise the Sergeant said, "Yes, Sir, you wear contact lenses." The General was very impressed and thought, what an incredibly observant NCO, and he didn't mention my ears. "And how do you know that I wear contacts?" the General asked. "Well, Sir," the NCO replied, "it's pretty hard to wear glasses with no friggin' ears."

This is a very funny joke to me, because I went on a job interview a few days ago- a strange one. Guy handed me a piece of paper with 30 words on and said circle 10 and we talk about them. He reminded me "that there is no right or wrong answer" and I sit there thinking, yeah there probably is cause if I don't get the job I answered WRONG.

He lets me talk about my 10 words and then we start to discuss the other words one by one. Last word, truancy, he asks "how do you handle truancy in the education field with the people you are involved with?" To which I told him that I haven't been late to work in 4 years so I don't care when he gets here.

Still haven't heard back from them yet...
