Charley, a new retiree greeter at Walmart, just couldnt seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, even 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-mind, a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policy.

One day the boss was in a real quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, he called him into the office for a talk.

"Charlie, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic , you do a bang up job, but youre being late so often is quite bothersome."

"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."

"Well good, you are a team player. Thats what I like to hear. Its odd though, youre coming in late. I know youre retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say if you came in late there?"

"They said, "Good morning, General. Tea or coffee this morning, sir?"
