mbrood Posted May 18, 2014 #1 Posted May 18, 2014 Help Wanted A local business needed to hire a new employee. The manager put a sign in the window that said: HELP WANTED Must be able to type, Must be proficient in Microsoft Excel, Must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. Later that day, a dog was walking past the window, saw the sign, and went inside. He looked at the receptionist to get her attention, then walked over to the sign, looking at the sign and wagging his tail. The receptionist nodded and went to get the manager. When the manager came out of his office, he told the dog they were looking to hire a human… but the dog didn’t budge. “Okay,” the manager said, “Come on into my office.” In the office, the dog jumped up on a chair and stared at the manager. "Listen,” the manager said, feeling a little silly for talking to a dog, “I can’t hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type.” The dog jumped down, trotted over to the computer, typed out a perfect letter, and went back to his chair. The manager looked at the computer screen and was impressed. “Still,” he said to the dog, “I can’t hire you. Like the sign said, you have to be proficient in Microsoft Excel because of all the work we do with spreadsheets.” The dog jumped down again, went back over to the computer, opened an Excel document, and typed in several entries with the results tabulated. “Well, clearly you’re very intelligent,” the manager said. “But I still can’t give you the job.” The dog jumped down and went to over to the help wanted sign, tapping his paw on the phrase “Equal Opportunity Employer.” “Okay,” the manager said, “But you can see that the sign also says you have to be bilingual.” The dog looked the manager in the eye and said, “Meow.” Being the PC owner that he tried to be... he hired the dog... at slightly higher pay than the receptionist, of course.
