Older Worker

[Roadie]

Charley, a new retiree-greeter at his new job, 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 Friend" 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 when you finally get here; But your being late so often is quite annoying.
"Yes I know Boss and I am working on it"
Well good, you are a team player. Thats what I like to hear.
Yes Sir, I understand your concern and I will try harder.

Seeming puzzled, the Manager went onto comment, I know your'e retired fom the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up late so often?.

The Old man looked down at the floor, then smiled. He laughed quietly, then said with a grin,
"They usually saluted and said Good Morning, ADMIRAL, can I get you a coffee Sir" Cheers Roadie.
