Equal Opportunity Employer

One day, a sign appeared in an office window. It read: “Help wanted. Must type 70 words a minute. Must be computer literate. Must be bilingual. An equal opportunity employer.” A dog ambling down the street, saw the sign, walked in, and applied for the job.

The office manager said, “I can’t hire a dog for this job.”

The dog pointed to the line: “An equal opportunity employer.”

So the manager said, “OK, take this letter and type it.”

The dog went off to the word processor and returned a minute later with the finished letter, perfectly formatted.

The manager said, “Here’s a problem. Write a computer program for it and run it.”

Fifteen minutes later, the dog came back with the correct answer.

The manager still wasn’t convinced. “I can’t hire a dog for this position. You’ve got to be bilingual.”

The dog looked up at the manager and said, “Meow.”
