A dog sees a “Now hiring” poster outside of a computer store. The poster reads:
“Must be able to type. Must be able to program. And must be bilingual. We are an equal opportunity employer.” The dog takes the poster in his mouth, and walks in. The manager spots the dog, and decides to humor it, pulling up a chair and a computer with a word processor. “Alright, if you want to work here, you need to first write a letter,” and leaves the room. 30 minutes later, he comes back in, and the dog has typed out a completely error-free letter. “Well, I’ll be. This is a smart dog. But can he program?” he asks himself. 20 minutes pass, and the dog has made a perfectly running “Hello, world” program. He looks, shocked, at the dog, and finally speaks. “Look, I know you have the qualifications, but, well… you’re a dog.” The dog nudges the words “We are an equal opportunity employer.” on the poster, and the manager sighs. “There’s no way you’re bilingual.” The dog looks him in the eyes, and says, “Meow.”
