The council job................

[DuncaninFrance]

A man goes to the Southampton City Council to apply for a job in their office.

The interviewer asks him, "Are you allergic to anything?"

He replies, "Yes, caffeine."

Have you ever worked for the public service before?"

"Yes, I was in the Army." he says, "I was in Iraq for two tours."

The interviewer says, "That will give you five extra points toward employment."

Then he asks, "Are you disabled in any way?"

The guy says, "Yes. A mine exploded near me when I was there and I lost both testicles".

The interviewer grimaces and then says, "O.K. You've got enough points
for me to take you on right away. Our normal hours are from 8.00am to
4.00pm.... ...but you can start tomorrow at 10.00am and carry on starting at
10.00am every day."

The ex-soldier is puzzled and asks, "If the work hours are from 8.00am to
4.00pm, why don't you want me here until 10.00am? I'm not looking for any
special treatment y'know."

"What you have to understand is that this is a council job," the interviewer says. "For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls, and there's no point in you coming in for that."
