Charlie!
It's been around before...
Guess this proves what they say, "Never judge a book by its cover. Something we all have a tendency to do.
Charley, a newly retired-greeter at B & Q,
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 sir, 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?"
(scroll down..................)
"They said,
"Good morning, Admiral, can I get you coffee, sir?"
