He just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day, 5, 10 minutes late. But he was a good worker, real sharp, so the Boss was in a quandary about what to do about it. Finally, one day he called him into the office for a talk.
"Bill, I have to tell you, I like your work ethics, but your being late often is bothersome.'
"Yes, I know Boss, and Im working on it."
"Well good. Thats what I like to hear. Its odd though, your coming in late. I know youre retired from the Navy. What did they say if you came in late there?"
"They said, "Good morning, Admiral."
