GIVE A DOG A BONE
A dog sees a “Now hiring” poster outside a computer store.
The poster reads: “Must be able to type. Must be able to program. And must be bilingual. We are an equal opportunity employer.”
The dog takes the poster in his mouth and walks in. The manager spots the dog and decides to humour him, pulling up a chair and a computer.
The manager says, “Alright, if you want to work here, you need to first write a letter.”
He leaves and 30 minutes later the dog has typed out a completely error-free letter.
“Well, I’ll be!” he thinks to himself. “This is a smart dog. But can he program?”
After 20 minutes the dog has created a perfectly running website for the store.
The manager looks shocked and finally says, “Look, I know you have the qualifications, but, well, you’re a dog.”
The dog nudges the words, “We are an equal opportunity employer” on the poster and the manager sighs. “There’s no way you’re bilingual,” he says.
The dog looks him in the eye and says, “Meow.”
