"Help Wanted"
A local business was
looking for office help. They put a sign in the window,
stating the following: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to
type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual.
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."
A short time afterwards,
a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside.
He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then
walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined.
Getting the idea, the
receptionist got the office manager. The office manager
looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However,
the dog looked determined, so he lead him into the office.
Inside, the dog jumped up on the chair and stared at the
manager.
The manager said, "I
can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type."
The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded
to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted
over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back
on the chair. The manager was stunned, but then told the
dog, "The sign says you have to be good with a computer."
The dog jumped down
again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to demonstrate
his expertise with various programs and produced a sample
spreadsheet and database and presented them to the manager.
By this time the manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked
at the dog and said, "I realize that you are a very
intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However,
I *still* can't give you the job."
The dog jumped down
and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentences
that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The
manager said, "Yes, but the sign *also* says that you
have to be bilingual."
The dog looked at him
straight in the face and said, "Meow."
