A local business was looking for office help. A sign in the window read:
A short time later, a lovely Norfolk Terrier 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. She was surprised, to say the least, to see a canine applicant. However, the dog looked determined so she 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 her, 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 presented it to the manager.
The manager was dumbfounded! She 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 darned sign says, but it also says you have to be bilingual."
The Norfolk looked her straight in the eye and said, "Meow."
