53. Submarine service joke

Had me ROFLMAO when I first heard it.

Command Master Chief Selection

A young Navy Officer was in a car accident, but due to the heroics of another young officer the only permanent injury was to both ears, which subsequently were amputated. Since he wasn't physically impaired he remained in the military and eventually became an Admiral. He remained, however, very sensitive about his appearance.

One day the new Admiral was interviewing three Master Chiefs for the Command Master Chief position. The first Master Chief was a Surface warfare 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 Surface Warfare Master Chief answered, "Why yes. I couldn't help but notice you have no ears."

The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tack and threw him out of his office.

The second interview was with a Aviation Master Chief and he was even better than the first Master Chief, with a much better personnel file. At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him the same question, "Do you notice anything different about me?"

The Aviation Master Chief replied, "Well yes. You have no ears." The Admiral threw him out also.

The third interview was with a Submarine Master Chief. He was articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the other two Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral wanted this guy, and went ahead with the same question, "Do you notice anything differently about me?"

To his surprise the Submarine Master Chief said, "Yes. You wear contact lenses."

The Admiral was impressed and thought to himself, what an incredibly observant Master Chief, and he didn't mention my ears.

"And how do you know that?", the Admiral asked.

The Submarine Master Chief replied, "Well it's pretty hard to wear glasses with no fucking ears."
