A local business was 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 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
led 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
demonstrate his expertise with various programs and produced a sample
spreadsheet
and database and presented them to the manager. 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 part
about
being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager said,
"Yes, but the sign*also* says that
you have to be bilingual."
