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 and 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, „Slide Rule, do
your
stuff!“. Slide Rule 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 ex
actly 8 ounces without
spilling a drop.
Everyone agreed
that was good. 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 Worker’s Compensation and went home on sick leave.
