Charley, a new retiree greeter at Wal-Mart, 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, a real credit to the company and 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’re doing a bang-up job, but your being late so often is really quite bothersome.”
“Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it.”
‘’Well, good. You’re a team player. That’s what I like to hear. It is odd though, you’re 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, Admiral, can I get you coffee, Sir?’"

that one's going to Dr. Larson -- she'll probably use it at one of her public speaking engagements.
