- 620A man worked in a big job and through his own fault was late every morning. At last his boss asked what excuse he had to be late.He answered that he was anyhow the hardest worked man in the job.His boss said that it could not be so as he was doing almost nothing.however, he came to work early for a few mornings, and then again late as usual. One evening the boss wanted to have a joke and said "I cannot understand why you are the first man to put on your coat in the evening, and the last to take it off in the morning""Well its like this Sir", said the man."I dont like being late twice the same day"
