I am...... Sgt French
Categories: Iraq
So, what started off as a joke has now turned into an experiment. I found a name tape that says French. Since our name tapes are only attached via velcro, I decided to play a joke and put it on. I am going on five hours now and no one has noticed. So now this is an experiment in observational skills. The ability for someone to pay attention to even the most minute details. This should be fun. And yeah, I am bored.

Hopefully French isn't walking around as the Nameless One! Though to be honest people are generally unobservant.
When I worked in a Mall, my manager decided to do a similar test. He printed out "First Person to Mention This Sign Gets 50% Off Their Entire Order" with small print that there was a cap and some legalese. It was printed on 11x17 paper, taped to poster board and hung at eye level 20 feet past the entrance. He put it perpendicular to the entrance instead of parallel to it.
It took 7 hours for someone to mention the sign!

Yeah, it took about 24 hours or so before someone actually said something. Later, others said that they noticed but decided not to say anything. Wierd.
