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.
