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 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, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?"
