A Dog Story
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 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 enter and execute a perfect program that worked
flawlessly the first time. 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 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!"
