Maybe His Eyesight is Too Good...?

OUR COMMANDING GENERAL and his staff were receiving an intelligence briefing that required the use of projectors to show maps of Norway with symbols for Norwegian military units. The captain conducting the briefing explained what each image represented. Our eagle-eyed general spotted a narrow, racetrack-shaped image at the top of the screen and said, "Just a moment, captain. What's that symbol up there?" The captain stopped dead in his tracks, looked at his notes and replied, "Sir, that's a paper clip."

Was it a friendly paperclip or was it a enemy? :mrgreen:

I have a similar story, but in my case it was not a paperclip, but a spot on the wall.
