One type of joke that many of us find funny has to do with getting a job. We realize that having a job interview is one of the more stressful things we will do in life, so it’s nice to be able to laugh about the situation.
When you couple that with the fact that somebody is applying for a government job, it gets even funnier. That is the case with the following joke, one that will not only have you laughing but it will surely be shared with others and they will get a chuckle as well.
A guy goes into the US Postal Services to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks him, “Are you allergic to anything?”
He replies, “Yes, caffeine. I can’t drink coffee.”
“OK, have you ever been in the military service?”
“Yes,” he says, “I was in Afghanistan for one tour.”
The interviewer says, “That will give you 5 extra points toward employment.”
Then he asks, “Are you disabled in any way?”
The guy says, “Yes. A bomb exploded near me, and I lost both my testicles.”
The interviewer grimaces and then says, “Disabled in your country’s service! Well that qualifies for extra bonus points!!
Looking at the regulations, you have got 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, and plan on starting at 10:00 AM every day.”
The guy is puzzled and asks, “If the work hours are from 8:00AM to 4:00 PM , why don’t you want me here until 10:00 AM ?”
“This is a government job,” the interviewer says. “For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our privates. No point in you coming in for that.”
