A local business was looking for office help, so they put a sign in their window saying "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer." A short time afterward, a cat sauntered up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and purred, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and meowed.

Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the cat and was surprised, to say the least. However, the cat looked determined, so he led him into the office. Inside, the cat jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager. The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type."

The cat jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and pranced over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair. The manager was stunned, but he told the cat, "The sign also says you have to be good with a computer."

The cat jumped down again and went to the computer. The cat proceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various programs, producing a sample spreadsheet and database and presenting them to the manager. By this time the manager was totally dumbfounded. He looked at the cat and said, "I realize that you are a very intelligent cat and have some interesting abilities. However, I *still* can't give you the job."

The cat jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the part about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager said, "Yes, but the sign *also* says that you have to be bilingual." The cat looked him straight in the eye and said, "Woof."
