i don’t know what it’s like around the rest of the world, but Aussie council workers have a bad reputation for being slackers. They reckon that if you see three council workers on a job at least two of them would be leaning on a broom. Anyway keep that in mind when reading the following joke I got in an email today.

A guy goes to the local council to apply for a job.

The interviewer asks him, ‘Are you allergic to anything?’
He answers ‘Yes – caffeine’

‘Have you ever been in the services?’
‘Yes,’ he says. ‘I was in Iraq for two years.’

The interviewer then asks, ‘Are you disabled in any way?

The guy says, ‘Yes 100%…a bomb exploded near me and blew my testicles off.’

The interviewer tells the guy, ‘O.K. I can hire you right now.
Normal hours are from 8am to 2pm. But you can start tomorrow at 10am – and plan on starting at 10am every day.’

The guy is puzzled and says, ‘If the hours are from 8am to 2pm, why don’t you want me to be here before 10am,?’ ‘

‘This is a council job,’ the interviewer says. ‘For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls so there is no point in you coming in for that.’
