There I was no sh*t.
It was back in late 1999, I was attending a rather boring staff meeting with some very high ranking officers. We were discussing, as usual back then, the Y2K problem.
This O-8 actually asked at the meeting "well, what did we do last time this happened?"
The whole room came to a silent stun. Was he trying to be funny (in which we were all obligated to give a laugh)? Or not. If we laughed and he was serious this would be what we call in the Military a "bad thing".
He was not the type that was well known for his humour. No one laughed and he did not seem to be expecting any laughter.
