A local business is 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 afterward, a dog trots up to the window, sees the sign, and goes inside…
He looks at the receptionist and wags his tail, then walks over to the sign, looks at it and whines.
Getting the idea, the receptionist gets the office manager…
The office manager looks at the dog and is surprised, to say the least.
However, the dog looks determined, so he leads him into the office…
Inside, the dog jumps up on the chair and stares at the manager.
The manager says, “I can’t hire you; the sign says you have to be able to type.”
The dog jumps down, goes to the typewriter and proceeds to type out a perfect letter…
He takes out the page, trots over to the manager and gives it to him, then jumps back on the chair.
The manager is stunned, but then tells the dog, “The sign says you have to be good with a computer.”
The dog jumps down again and goes to the computer…
The dog proceeds to demonstrate his expertise with various programs…
He produces a sample spreadsheet and database then presents them to the manager.
By this time the manager is totally dumbfounded!
He looks at the dog and says, “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 jumps down and goes over to the “Help Wanted” sign, then puts his paw on the part about being an “Equal Opportunity Employer”.
The manager says, “Yes, but the sign also says that you have to be bilingual.”
The dog looks at him straight in the face and says…
“Meow, meow.”
