The smartest Dog
Posted by: <@...>
was an engineer, the second an accountant, the third a
chemist, and the fourth a government bureaucrat.
To show off, the engineer called to his dog, 'T-Square, do
your stuff!' T-Square trotted over to the desk, took out some
paper and a pen and promptly drew a circle, a square and a
triangle. Everyone agreed that T-Square was pretty smart!
Then the accountant said his dog could do better. He called
his dog and said, 'Spreadsheet, show them how smart you are!'
Spreadsheet went out into the kitchen and returned with a
dozen cookies. He divided the cookies into four equal piles
of 3 each. Everyone agreed, that was good!
Yet the chemist said his dog could do even better. He called
his dog and said, 'Measure, do your thing!' 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 was quite impressed!
The three men then turned to the bureaucrat who called to his
dog and said, 'Coffee Break, do your stuff!!' Coffee Break
jumped to his feet, ate all the cookies, drank the milk,
messed on the paper, assaulted the other three dogs, claimed
he injured his back while so doing, filed a grievance report
for unsafe working conditions, put in for Worker's
Compensation, and went home for the rest of the day on sick
leave!
