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, trotted over to the
manager, 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 it ran.
By now, 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 sentence 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.”
