Which begs for a new joke;

How do you shut up a sight reader? Take their sheet music and even their charts and then ask them to hang out and jam for a while. Don't tell them what the songs are or even the key it's in or what the progression is. Just ask them to play along with all of the other musicians.

EDIT: Don't ask them to take a solo. There's no need to TOTALLY humiliate them. LOL
