A local
business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window
saying:
"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
led 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
dumbfounded! 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 part 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."
