A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in
the window saying:
"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 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." |
