A
businessman needed a
secretary.
He advertised in
a newspaper.
Secretary wanted. Must be able to
type, take
dictation, use a computer, speak a foreign language. Telephone Mr. Brand at
679-8455 for immediate
interview.
Many people
applied for the job. The best applicant, however, was not a person. It was a
dog. The
businessman asked the dog to come for an interview.
When the dog
came into his office, the businessman was very impressed.
His coat was
clean and neat. He had good ears and a cold nose. He wagged his tail in a
friendly way.
“I am going to
give you a test,” the businessman said. “If you pass the test, you can have the
job, even though you are a dog.”
The businessman
gave the dog a test, and he passed with high marks.
He was able to
type 145 words per minute. He took perfect dictation. He could use a computer.
“You have done
very well,” the businessman said. “I have only one more question to ask you.
What foreign language do you speak?”
The dog looked
at him, smiled, and said, “Meow!”
