A military veteran in the US joins their veterans employment programme and gets a job at a local branch of well known chain of stores. Because he's very pleasant and genial, they make him one of the greeters, and he excels. Except for one thing - he's invariably half an hour late for work. His boss mentions this and asks if he was always this tardy in the military, to which the answer was in the affirmative. The next question was how did people in the military respond to this, to which he answered;
"Good morning General, how would you like your coffee?".
All true - allegedly. (Of course!)
