A bloke goes to the Adelaide City Council to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, Are you allergic to anything?
He replies, Yes, caffeine. I cant drink coffee.
Have you ever served in the military?
Yes, he says. I was in Iraq for two years.
The interviewer says, That will give you five extra points towards employment. Then he asks, Are you disabled in any way?
The bloke says, Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both of my testicles.
The interviewer grimaces and then says, OK. You are a disabled ex-serviceman; you have enough points for me to hire you right now.
Our normal hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 am, then plan on starting at 10:00 am every day.
The bloke is puzzled and asks, If the work hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, why dont you want me here until 10:00 am?
This is an Adelaide City Council job, the interviewer says. For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that.

It use to be a rule in the public service that you were not permitted to look out of the window during the morning....
Because, if you did... you'd have nothing to do in the afternoon.
