[Rhodes22-list] You can never tell.....

[elle]

Charley, a new retiree greeter at WalMart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. 
Every day he was 5, 10, sometimes 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 was in a real quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, he 
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, 
your 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?'"
