Five men were bragging about how smart their dogs
were.
One was an engineer, the second man was an accountant,
the third man was a chemist, the fourth was a computer tech, and the fifth 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, square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed
that was pretty incredible.
But the accountant said his dog could do better. He
called to his dog and commanded, 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 to 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 more than a little impressive.
The computer tech knew he could top them all. "Hard Drive, have at it." Hard Drive crossed the room and booted the computer,
checked for viruses, upgraded the operating system, sent an email, and
installed a cool new game.
Everyone knew that was a tough act to follow.
Then the four 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 our
stuff, Boy." Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate
the cookies, drank the milk, erased all the files on
the computer, assaulted the other four dogs, claimed
he injured his back while doing so,filed a grievance
report for unsafe working conditions, put in for
workers compensation and went home for a six-month
sick leave, on full pay
