A guy goes to the Council to apply for a job as an electrician.
The interviewer says: "Recruitment is done on a points system; have you been in the armed services?"
"Yes," he says "I was in the army for three years and served in Iraq."
The interviewer says "Great; that will give you extra points toward employment"
And then asks "were you trained as an electrician?"
The guy says "Yes I have all my papers."
"Brilliant, more points in your favour. Finally he asks: "Are you disabled in any way?"
The guy replies: "Unfortunately: 100%... a mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off."
The interviewer tells the guy "No problem; further points towards employment. OK. I can hire you right now. The hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. You can start tomorrow. Come in at 10:00 AM."
The recruit is puzzled and says "If the hours are from 8:00 AM. To 4:00 pm,then why do you want me to come in at 10:00 AM?"
"This is a council job" the interviewer replies. "For the first two hours we sit around scratching our balls....... not really worth you coming in for that."
