Navy officer humor

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

One day the new Admiral was interviewing three young men for the
position of his personal aide. 

The first officer was a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) and it was a
great interview. At the end the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice
anything different about me?" 
The young SWO answered, "Why yes, sir. I couldn't help but notice
that you have no ears." 
The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out. 

The second interview was with a female Fleet Support Officer, and
she was even better than the first officer, and with a better
file. The Admiral asked her the same question, "Do you notice
anything different about me?" 
She replied, "Well, sir, you have no ears." 
The Admiral threw her out also. 

The third interview was with a Navy Chief Petty Officer. He was
articulate, looked extremely sharp and seemed to know more than the
other two officers together. The Admiral wanted this guy, and went
ahead with the same question, "Do you notice anything different
about me?" To his surprise the Chief said, "Yes sir; you wear
contact lenses." 
The Admiral was impressed and thought, what an incredibly observant
Chief Petty Officer, and he didn't mention my ears. "And how do you
know that I 
wear contacts?" the Admiral asked. 
The sharp witted Chief replied, "Well, sir, it's pretty hard to
wear glasses with no ****ing ears."
