Thread: Old Charlie

Charley, a new employee at Bunnings, 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 was 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." says Charlie. "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 Group Captain, can I get your coffee sir??
