Work ethic

Tom was in his 50s, retired military and started a second career.
However, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day, five,
10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, real sharp, so the Boss
was in a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, one day he called
him into the office for a talk.

"Tom, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job,
but you're 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, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Army. What
did they say if you came in late there?"

"They said, "Good morning, General."
