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 demonstr
One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.
"Charley, 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.

What did they say if you came in late there?"
They said,
"Good morning, Admiral.
Can I get you coffee, sir?"
