Help Wanted
A business is looking for office help. They put
a sign in the window saying: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type,
work a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity
Employer."
Soon after 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 manager looked
at the dog and was surprised, 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."
