I'm sure there's a great punchline here, but I haven't been able to think of it. Any ideas?

Something sounds fishy here. No way a smoke grenade looks like a bottle of perfume.

In a related story, the woman was found with a tampax on her ear and couldn't find her pencil.

I do not believe it -
1. Any secretary would have run for her life the minute this happened smoke and flame come out of the canister
2. Snot, tears and spit would have come streaming out of her nose, eyes and throat for about 30 minutes
3. Even just smelling the canister - you can tell it is not perfume
4. Nobody is that dumb

Agreed. This doesn't pass the smell test.

My bad. Wrong perfume. Here's the correct tear gas perfurme.

I am imagining the Gen making a pass at her and her saying "back off sir" or "I am going to pull this pin out" and him chuckling and keeping heading toward her. And then to his shock, she pulls the pin. Just imagining {in a very amused and satisfied way}

This was in Israel. Maybe it was a French designer tear-gas cannister. :-)

Yes they are. A lot of dumb a*** will pull the trigger of a gun to see what happens.

There is a true story about a woman in Phiily who bought some spermicidal jelly. Yes, she put it on toast and ate it. She filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer after she became pregnant, and the manufacturer's response was "how stupid can this woman be"?

2banana's right on all counts.
Also notice that the secretary was just sitting in this cloud when everyone stormed in. No f--ing way. People would sell out their own mothers to escape a confined space like an office, full of irritant gas.
Didja also notice that the spokesman referred to the secretary as the "soldier"? I seem to recall grenade ID a pretty fundamental part of training. No way anyone in the IDF doesn't know what a grenade looks like, or could confuse it with perfume.
