At a tea for officers and their wives, the commanding general of a base delivered a seemingly endless oration.   A young lieutenant grumbled to the women sitting beside him, “What a pompous and unbearable old windbag that slob is!”  The women turned to him, her face red with rage.  “Excuse me, Lieutenant.   Do you have any idea who I am?”  “No ma’am” the man fumbled.  “I am the wife of the man you just called an unbearable old windbag.”  “Oh,” said the lieutenant, “And do you have any idea who I am,”  “No,” said the general’s wife.  “Thank God,” said the lieutenant, getting up from his seat and disappearing into the crowd.
