"Permission to initial, sir?" joke

When I was a newly commissioned Lieutenant in the Army, I was assigned as a
temporary assistant in an administrative office in a Military Intelligence
unit. One day a long memo came around with a cover sheet instructing all
assigned officers to read it and initial it as indication of their compliance.
I figured it meant me too, so I read and initialed, BUT a few days later, it
came back addressed specifically to me. An attached note read: "You are not
permanently assigned to this unit and are thus not an authorized signee.
Please erase your initials and initial your erasure."
I did.
