My Air National Guard unit in Virginia Beach, VA., had a change-of-command ceremony, and a high-ranking General came to deliver a speech. He was given VIP treatment and even received some press coverage. The day after the big ceremony, the General took his wife to the movies at a local cinema. When he entered the small theater, he was given a standing ovation. Flattered by the response to his arrival, he acknowledged the applause with a wave of his hand and a big grin. Later, after the movie, one of the patrons approached him. “Gee,” remarked the fan, “we are so lucky you came.” “Oh really?” the General replied, obviously pleased. “Yes, they weren’t going to start the movie unless they got 15 paying customers. We only had 13 until you two showed up.”
