    The Wall-Mart Greeter

    Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wall-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 and 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.

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

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

    ''Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though your coming in late.
    I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say if you came in late there?"

          I think it's unfair to compare a flag officer to a wal-mart greeter. Pretty disrespectul.

              I don't think that the intent was to be disrespectful of a military officer. Many people retire from their careers and go to work (comparatively) basic jobs as a way to earn extra money, have health benefits, or just to have a productive way to spend their time.

                Ah, this was not a comparison.

                  Change it to 'Gunny". I believe I'm the only one hanging around, and I promise not to be offended.......

                        Bill,

                        I changed you joke a little and sent it to an old Army buddy. He was an E4 when we met in the 101st. He stayed in and retired as a full bird colonel. Bet you can't guess what I changed admiral to.
