The sporadic musings of a middle aged man who isn't exactly happy with the direction America is taking today....

Gummint' job...
A guy goes to the Post Office to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks him, "Are you allergic to anything?"
He replies, "Yes, caffeine. I can't drink coffee."
"Ok, Have you ever been in the military service?"
"Yes," he says, "I was in Iraq for one tour."
The interviewer says, "That will give you 5 extra points toward employment." Then he asks, "Are you disabled in any way?"
The guy says, "Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both my testicles."
The interviewer grimaces and then says, "Okay. You've got enough points for me to hire you right now. Our normal hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 am, and plan on starting at 10:00 am every day."
The guy is puzzled and asks, "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 says. "For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that."
Stay safe.
At my last place of employment, "scratching our balls" was a crude substitute for goofing off and doing nothing productive. There were cruder expressions too.
ReplyDeleteOld Bob, LMAO, that sounds like a place I used to work.
ReplyDeleteBlue, that's why I'll never work for the post office even with Veterans preference.
