Ah, yes. A sham shielder strikes again.

Leave it to a Sp/4 to be the guy to designate the smoking areas.

One fine member of the Sp/4 Mafia decided to appoint himself as the smoking area designatior It was a rather simple thing for him to do, really. He just got a small 'designated smoking area' sign and carried it with him.

Any time he wanted to light up he would simply post the sign and have a cigarette. When he was finished he would put the sign away and take it with him.

Needless to say, people would see him smoking, notice the sign and light up. There would be a group of smokers standing around long after the Sp/4 had quietly taken the sign and left.

One day the battalion commander saw the Sp/4 smoking, noticed the sign and sat down to enjoy a cigar. When the Sp/4 had finished his smoke he left. Of course he was carrying the sign which he had discreetly stuffed under his shirt.

A few minutes later the Regimental CO happened on by and saw one of his BnCOs puffing away and promptly gave him holy hell leaving the hapless officer stammering and stuttering that there had been a sign there a minute ago.
