No Promotion Outranks the Spouse

DURING WORLD WAR II, I found that my wedding ring was being destroyed through the use of my GI trenching shovel, so I took the ring off and placed it on my dog-tag chain. After being promoted from corporal to staff sergeant, I sent my wife a photo of myself wearing the new stripes. Instead of congratulations, the letter I got back contained just five words: "Put that ring back on!"
