------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
There was an ad outside an office that said:
HELP wanted. Must be able to type 70 words per minute.
Computer literacy is required. Must be bilingual. EQUAL EMPLOYER.
So there was a dog ambling outside the office. It noticed the ad and
shuffled into the office to apply for the position.
The employer took one look at the dog, shook his head and said "But I
can't hire a dog."
The dog pointed at the words EQUAL EMPLOYER on the ad.
So the employer said, "OK, but can you first type this document?" and
gave the dog a letter.
The dog typed everything correctly and neatly without a mistake at 70
words per minute and returned.
Flustered, the employer then said, "Then, can you put these figures into
a spread-sheet and make a program to feed it into the mainframe, process
it in the General Ledger Module and give me the Balance Sheets and
Profit and Loss Statement?" and gave the dog some documents.
The dog completed the spreadsheet, the program, the Balance Sheet and
the P/L statement promptly and correctly and returned.
The employer shook his head, pointed at the ad and said, "But are you
Bilingual?".
The dog said "Meow!"
