One of the guys in our intelligence section had about 40 different pictures of his wife under a glass cover on his desk. She wore a different outfit in each picture, but always the same pair of sunglasses. One day we decided to 'set up' one of the most obnoxious NCO's in our section. This guy never had a kind word for anyone. So we primed him by saying "Go over to White's desk and check out the pictures of his wife. When you're done, say something like 'What's with your wife and the sunglasses, does she think she's a freaking movie star?'"
So the NCO goes over, checks out the pics and makes the movie star comment. White just looks at him and calmly says "For your information Sergeant, my wife is blind." The NCO's face turns about 6 shades of red as he mumbled an apology and hurried off. Meanwhile, the rest of us are laughing our butts off. The NCO comes back later and informs us that "White's wife is blind you stupid #$@."
The guy walked on pins and needles after that and almost became human. We waited two days before he rotated out before telling him that White's wife wasn't blind.
