SHAGGY DOG STORY:
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 damned
sign says. But
the sign also says you have to be bilingual."
The dog looked him straight in the eye and said,
"Meow."
