A guy goes to the Local Council to apply for a job The interviewer asks him, 'Are you allergic to anything?' He answers 'Yes - caffeine' 'Have you ever been in the services?' 'Yes,' he says. 'I was in Iraq for two years.' The interviewer says, 'That will give you 5 extra points toward employment,' and then asks, 'Are you disabled in any way? The guy says, 'Yes 100%... a bomb exploded near me and blew my balls off.' The interviewer tells the guy, 'O.K. In that case, I can hire you right now. Normal hours are from 8 AM to 2 PM. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 - and plan on starting at 10 AM every day.' The guy is puzzled and says, 'If the hours are from 8 AM to 2 PM, why don't you want me to be here before 10 AM?' 'This is a council job,' the interviewer says. 'For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No pointin you coming in for that.'

Ha, ha, so true!
For a while I worked with a county council on a project team after a new mainframe computer was installed. The senior techie guy there always used to look at his watch at 10.00 a.m. on a Monday morning and say "Oh well, too late to start on anything major this week!" EVERY WEEK, without fail. Groan.
