Job Interview

The insurance firm put a sign in the window saying "HELP WANTED. You
must
be a good typist and have good computer skills. Successful applicant
must
be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."

A short time later a lovely golden retriever 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, whined and pawed the
air.

The receptionist called the office manager. He was surprised, to say the
least, to see a canine applicant. However, the dog looked determined so
he
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 with his mouth and trotted
over to the manager, gave it to him, then jumped back up on the chair
wagging his tail.

The manager was stunned, but told the dog, "That was fantastic, but I'm
sorry. The sign clearly says that whomever I hire must have computer
skills." The dog jumped down again, went to the computer and proceeded to
demonstrate his expertise with various programs. He produced a sample
Excel
spreadsheet, a sample Power Point presentation, retouched a picture with
Photo shop, and then printed all of them for the manager.

The manager was dumbfounded. He said to the dog, "Listen, I realize that
you
are a very intelligent applicant and have fantastic talent, but you're a
dog! There's no way I can 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 sign says. But the
sign
also says you have to be bilingual."

The dog looked him straight in the
eye............................................




and said, "Meow."

jalapenos. What you do today might burn your ass tomorrow".
