Public servants - your Tax dollars at work
Dedicated to GOPisEvil and VelmaD!


A guy goes to an interview for a job as a government accountant.

The interviewer asks him, "Are you a veteran?"

The guy says, "Why yes, in fact, I served two tours in Vietnam."

"Good," says the interviewer, "That counts in your favor. Do you have any service related disabilities?"

The guy says, "In fact I am 100% disabled. During a battle, an explosion removed my genitals so they declared me disabled...but it doesn't affect my ability to work, though."

"Sorry to hear about the damage, but I have some good news for you, I can hire you right now! Our working hours are 8 to 4. Come on in tomorrow about 10, and we'll get you started."

The guy says, "If working hours are from 8 to 4, why do you want me to come at 10?"

"Well, here in the government offices, we don't do anything but sit round and scratch our balls for the first two hours. No point your coming in for that.

1. Hey! My hours are 7-4, dammit!
I scratch my balls until 9. ;-)

2. Uh...no balls here...
I guess I'll just have to sit around and do my nails or something. :)
