Capable Candidate

The IT director advertises that he needs a secretary. Necessary skills: document forming, computer knowledge and a foreign language. After a couple of days a dog walks in.

"I'm an open minded person," the pale-turned boss stutters, "but I need someone who can form documents..."

The dog sits down behind the computer and compiles a totally decent business letter.

"Yes, but the IT-knowledge..."

The dog quickly writes a little program.

"Well, but foreign language?" the totally amazed director asks.

"Meow!" says the dog.
