Help Wanted...
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!"
