A guy goes to the local council to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks, “Are you allergic to anything?”
He says, “Yes — caffeine.”
“Have you ever worked for public service before?”
“Yes, I served two tours overseas.”
“Great,” says the interviewer, “that earns you five extra points.”
“Any disabilities?”
The man nods. “A blast injury left me unable to… you know… start a family.”
The interviewer winces. “Alright, you’ve got enough points to start immediately. Our normal hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but you can start at 10 a.m. every day.”
The man looks confused. “If everyone starts at 8, why should I come at 10? I’m not after special treatment.”
The interviewer smiles and says,
“Well, this is a council job — the first two hours we mostly drink coffee and stand around chatting. No point you coming in for that!”
