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 a bit. 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 a 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 up on the chair. The manager was stunned, but then he
told the dog, "The sign also 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 over 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 that manager very calmly and said, "Meow."
