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??

I heard that on his first day of work with Bunnings he
walked in at 8.15am. The boss looked at him and
said, "You should have been here at 8.00am".

Charlie replied, "Really, what happened?"
