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, trotted over to
the manager, 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
enter and execute a perfect program, that worked
flawlessly the first time it ran.
By now, 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
sentence 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."
