Why Not a Dog

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 afterward, 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 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 sentence 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!"
