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 took the rest of the day off as sick leave.
