"Slow learner" joke

Shortly before taking over as Air Chief from Arjan Singh, P. C. Lal had to spend long hours being briefed about his new charge. As a result he had to stay late in the office to clear his own files. The poor Air Force jawan on guard duty at Air Headquarters had to stay at his post till after 10. 30 p. m.
After a week of suffering he made bold to address the new Air Chief-to-be:' Sir, may I be allowed to ask you a question?' Being permitted to do so he continued:' You stay in office till very late, whereas Air Marshal Arjun Singh left punctually at 5 P. M. Is it that you have not yet understood your work? Or has the workload increased?'
Thereafter P. C. Lal left his office on time.
