A
veteran visited a Defense Department depot in Philadelphia to apply for a job,
as he heard that they were hiring vets.
The
interviewer asked him, “Are you allergic to anything?”
The man replied, “Yes,
caffeine. I can’t drink coffee.”
“OK,
have you ever been in the military?”
“Yes,”
the man said. “I was in Afghanistan for one tour.”
The
interviewer said, “That will give you five extra points toward employment.”
Then
he asked, “Are you disabled in any way?”
The
man replied, “Yes. An IED exploded near me and I lost both my testicles.”
The
interviewer grimaced and said, “Disabled in your country’s
service! Well, that qualifies for extra bonus points.
“Okay.
Looking at the regulations you have got enough points for me to hire you right
now. Our normal hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., so you can start
tomorrow at 10:00 am, and plan on starting at 10:00 am every day.”
The
man was puzzled, and he asked, “If the work hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm,
why don’t you want me here until 10:00 am?”
“This
is a government job,” the interviewer said. “For the first two hours, we just
stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls.
"No
point in you coming in for that.”
