Four men were
bragging about how smart their dogs are.
The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the
third man was a Chemist, the fourth was a Government Worker.
To show off, the Engineer called
to his dog. "T-square, do your
stuff." T-square trotted over
to a desk, took out some paper and a pen and promptly drew a circle,
a square, and a triangle.
Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his dog could
do better. He called his dog and said, "Spreadsheet,
do your stuff." Spreadsheet
went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided
them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each.
Everyone agreed that was good.
But the Chemist said his dog could
do better. He called his dog and said, "Measure,
do your stuff." Measure got
up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce
glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling
a drop.
Everyone agreed that was good.
Then the three men turned to the
Government Worker and said, "What can your dog do?"
The Government Worker called to his
dog and said, "Coffee
Break, do your stuff." Coffee
Break jumped to
his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, dumped on the paper, sexually
assaulted the other three dogs, claimed he injured his back while doing
so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for
Workers Compensation and
went home for the rest
of the day on sick leave.
