13. Mind Trap Sam Sham, Captain Frank, and a few other men were swapping war stories. Sham told one about his uncle Sly who lost an arm during the war. “Uncle Sly met a General who was shocked that Sly had lost his arm, and yet had not received a medal for bravery. The general removed one of his own medals and pinned it on Sly’s uniform. He then mentioned that had Sly lost both arms, he would have received a commission. Hearing this, Sly withdrew his sword and with one swift stroke he cut off his other arm. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed Minister of Armaments.” Captain Frank looked blankly at Sham and said, “you couldn’t possible expect anyone to believe that yarn, could you?” Why not?
