That's too funny. A buddy of mine was an exercise manager for role-players at Ft. Lewis, WA. All participants were to call him when they arrived SEATAC. Unfortunately orders were cut, listing his home number. His poor wife had to field some 120 calls.
Very innocently she passed the messages along with the adage, "Honey, I hope you were not that stupid to give our home phone number to all those beautiful middle eastern women".
"No dear", was his reply, "it's been only you".
She said, "Good, because, had it been on purpose, you really suck as a Special Forces soldier".
