There are certain jobs that most of us would consider to be excellent if we were able to land them. These include government jobs, because we often feel as if the workload is going to be fairly light while at the same time, the pay and benefits are going to be at the top of the scale. In reality, that may be true but there are also things that we don’t consider when we are getting hired by such a location. That is what the veteran in this joke discovered when he got a job with the post office that came with some unexpected benefits.
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.”
“Have you ever been in the military service?”
“Yes,” he says, “I was in Iraq for two years.”
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 are a Disabled Veteran; 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, 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.”
