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.”
