A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, 
stating the following: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with 
a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."

A short time afterwards, a 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 and whined.

Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office 
manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, the 
dog looked determined, so he lead him into the office. Inside, the dog 
jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager.

The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to 
type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out 
a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and 
gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair. The manager was stunned, but 
then told the dog, "The sign says you have to be good with a computer."

The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to 
demonstrate his expertise with various programs and produced a sample 
spreadsheet and database and presented them to the manager. By this time the 
manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked at the dog and said, "I realize 
that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. 
However, I *still* can't give you the job."

The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the 
sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager 
said, "Yes, but the sign *also* says that you have to be bilingual."

The dog looked at him straight in the face and said, "Meow."
