I just googled this and although the story is word for word the same, it appears his rank has altered!! You just have to appreciate this one. Young people forget that we old people had a career before we retired. 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 when you finally get here; 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”. “Yes sir, I understand your concern and I will try harder”. Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, “I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning late so often?" The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled. He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin, "They usually saluted and said, Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir”?
By law, if it's raining in Sweden and you're driving, you have to have your lights on. How am I supposed to know when it's raining in Sweden?
Another pub moment... I mentioned my upcoming colonoscopy today and one of the company said that he thought that a throat endoscopy had to be worse. This conversation continued as we went to the gents (a timing coincidence), which seemed to be empty. 'Well I'd much rather have it up the arse than down my throat' said my pal just as somebody exited one of the stalls.
Hope it went ok for you, mate. I’ve have it done four times now, didn’t feel violated at all. Cut some pulps out, presto, all good. Stay positive.
