HELP WANTED!
A local business was looking for
office help.
They put a
sign in the window saying:
HELP WANTED
Must be a good typist and be
good with a computer.
Successful applicant must be
bilingual. We are an Equal
Opportunity Employer.
A short
time later a lovely golden
retriever 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, whined and
pawed the air.
The
receptionist called the office
manager. He was surprised,
to say the least to see a canine
applicant. 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
expectantly. The manager
said, "I can't hire you.
The sign says you must be able
to type."
The dog
jumped down, went to the
typewriter and proceeded to
quickly type a perfect business
letter. He took out the
page and trotted over to the
manager, gave it to him, then
jumped back up on the chair.
The manager
was stunned, but told the dog,
"That was fantastic, but I'm
sorry. The sign clearly
says that whoever I hire has to
be good with a computer."
The dog
jumped down again, went to the
computer and proceeded to
demonstrate his expertise with
various programs, produced a
sample spreadsheet and database,
then presented them to the
manager.
The manager
was dumbfounded! He said
to the dog, "Hey, I realize that
you are a very intelligent
applicant and have fantastic
talent, but you're a dog -- no
way could I hire you."
The dog
jumped down and went to the sign
in the window and pointed his
paw at the words, "Equal
Opportunity Employer."
The
exasperated manager said, "Yes,
I know what the danged sign
says. But the sign also
says you have to be bilingual."
The dog
looked him straight in the eye
and said, "Meow!"
