The Importance of NCOs<br />Five cannibals were employed by the Air Force as scouts and translators during an island campaign. When the Commander welcomed the cannibals he said, "You're all part of our team now. We will compensate you well for your services, and you can eat any of the rations that our Air Force personnel are eating. But please don't indulge yourselves by eating our personnel."

However, one of our Staff Sergeants has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to him?" The cannibals all shook their heads no. After the Commander left, the leader of the cannibals turned to the others and said, "Which of you idiots ate the Staff Sergeant?" A hand raised hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals replied, "You fool! For four weeks we've been eating Lieutenants, Captains, and Majors and no one noticed anything, then YOU had to go and eat an NCO.
