DOG EMPLOYMENT

A local business was looking for office help and 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 dog saw the sign, went inside and looked at the manager. He wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined. The manager was surprised. The dog looked determined, so he led him into the office. Inside the office, 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 went to the typewriter and typed out a perfect letter. He took out the page and gave it to the manager. The manager was stunned, but then told the dog, “The sign says you have to be good with a computer.” The dog went to the computer and proceeded to demonstrat­e his expertise with various programmes 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 realise that you are a very intelligen­t dog and have some interestin­g abilities. However, I still can’t give you the job.” The dog 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.” The dog looked at him straight in the face and said, “Meow.”
