"Talk to the Tide" joke

This is a certified true story.
One of the instructors at the local training centre decided to try to pull the leg of one the labourers who worked there.
He told the lad, who lived in a little fishing port about 12 miles away, that there was a job coming available soon in his home town.
The lad asked what job this was, and was told that the job was not very arduous, but paid good money because it involved unsocial hours, going out to the end of the 679 meter pier twice a day and telling the tide when it was time to come in.
"You must think I'm soft", he said, and the boys thought he'd twigged, only for him to restore their faith in his stupidity -
"That sort of job is handed down from father to son; I've no chance", he says!
