HELP WANTED
A local business was looking for
office help. They put a sign in the window,
stating: 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
manager. The manager looked at
the dog and was surprised, to say the least. 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 began to type out
a perfect
letter... He took out the page and trotted over to the
manager and gave it to
him, he 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. He then proceeded to
demonstrate his ~ expertise with various computer programs.
He produced a
sample database and spreadsheet and
presented them to the manager... By this
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
part 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 him straight in the face calmly and
said,"Meow."
