Good Explanation

Tom retired in his early 50s and started a second career. However, even
though he loved his new job, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time.
Every day, he was 5, 10 sometimes even 15 minutes late.

But he was a good worker and really sharp, so his boss was in a quandary
about how to deal with it.

Finally, one day, his boss called him into the office for a talk.

"Tom, I must tell you, I truly like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job,
but being late for work nearly every day is quite annoying to me as well as
your fellow workers."

Tom replied, "Yes, sir, I know I'm sorry, but I am working on it."

"That's what I like to hear," his boss said. "However, the fact that you
consistently come to work late does puzzle me, because I understand that you
retired from the United States Air Force, and they have some pretty rigid
rules about tardiness. Isn't that correct?"

"Yes sir. I did retire from the Air Force, and I'm mighty proud of it!" said
Tom.

"Well, what did they say when you came in late?" asked his boss.

"They said, 'Good morning, General'."
