Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart,
just couldn't seem to get to work on time.Every
day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy,
clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company and obviously
demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.
One
day the boss called him into the office for a talk.
"Charley, I have to tell you, I like your
work ethic, you do a bang-up job, but your 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 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, Admiral, can I get you coffee,
sir?"
