THE WORKING DOG
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 a bit. 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 a 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 up on the chair.
The manager was stunned, but then told the dog, "The
sign also says you have
to be good with a computer." The dog jumped down
again and went to the
computer. The dog proceeded to enter and execute a
perfect program, that
worked flawlessly the first time.
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 over 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 the manager calmly and said,
"Meow."
