| Charley, a new retiree greeter at Walmart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, even 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-mind, a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policy. One day the boss was in a real quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, he called him into the office for a talk. "Charlie, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang up job, but you're being late so often is quite bothersome." "Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it." "Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say if you came in late there?" "They said, "Good morning, General. Tea or coffee this morning, sir?" |
