I've heard that they are the problem children at Reed too. They cause human traffic jams all day long at the latte wagons in Pentagon hallways.

A guy went to the Pentagon to apply for a civilian job. The interviewer asked him, 'Are you allergic to anything? He replied, 'Yes - caffeine.' Have you ever been in the military service?' 'Yes,' he replied.. 'I did 2 combat tours of Afghanistan .' The interviewer said, 'That will give you 5 extra points toward employment. Then he asked, Are you disabled in any way?' The guy said, Yes...an IED exploded near me and I lost both of my testicles. The interviewer grimaced and then said, 'OK. You've got enough points for me to hire you right now. Our normal hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P...M. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 - and plan to start at 10:00 A.M. every day. The guy was puzzled and asks, 'If the work hours are from 8:00 A...M. to 4:00 P.M., why don't you want me to be here until 10:00 A.M.? This is a Pentagon job, the interviewer said. For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that.
