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 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 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."
