Shamelessly stolen from another forum I’m afraid.
Council Job
Guy goes to the Council to apply for a job as an electrician.
The interviewer says: “Recruitment is done on a points system; have you been in the armed services?”
“Yes,” he says ” I was in the army for three years and served in Iraq . “
The interviewer says “Great; that will give you extra points toward employment” And then asks “were you trained as an electrician?”
The guy says ” Yes I have all my papers.”
“Brilliant, more points in your favour. Finally he asks: “Are you disabled in any way?”
The guy replies: “Unfortunately: 100%… a mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off.”
The interviewer tells the guy “No problem; further points towards employment. OK. I can hire you right now. The hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. You can start tomorrow. Come in at 10:00 AM.”
The recruit is puzzled and says ” If the hours are from 8:00 am To 4:00 pm, then why do you want me to come in at 10:00 AM? “
“This is a council job ” the interviewer replies. ” For the first two hours we sit around scratching our balls……. not really worth you coming in for that.”
