IJMC Help Wanted

                         IJMC - Help Wanted

Ok, so you see the end to this one coming from a mile away. You're still 
going to read to the end...you just have to. It's one of those desires. 
Like the one about the pig a few nights back. I go into work the next day 
and one of the sales guys is asking if I've got the "gallery" of pigs. 
Mind you that only one person in the company has a subscription to the 
IJMC...and I was only an hour late that day...there were still over a  
half dozen pigs drawn! You just had to...                           -dave






HELP WANTED
     
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
enter and execute a perfect program, that worked flawlessly the first
time. 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 the manager calmly and said "Meow".
