MM> Did I ever tell you how we acquired this cat ? We were MM> looking for a bit of office help and put an ad in the local MM> paper saying "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good MM> with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal MM> Opportunity Employer." MM> A short time afterwards, this cat trotted up to our front MM> door and scratched for attention, sat on the mat and looked MM> expectant. MM> Getting the idea, we said "We can't hire you. The ad said you MM> have to be able to type." MM> The cat leapt past us, went to the keyboard and proceeded to MM> type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and laid it MM> on the desk neatly. MM> Stunned, we told the cat, "The ad said you have to be good MM> with a computer." MM> The cat went back to the computer and proceeded to MM> demonstrate a considerable expertise with various programs, MM> produced a sample spreadsheet and database, laying them out MM> on the desk beside the letter. MM> Then he printed off the email that posted the ad in the MM> paper... with the bit about Equal Opportunity underlined ! MM> By this time, we were totally dumbfounded! We pointed out MM> that our ad said, "that you have to be bilingual." ... and MM> the cat looked at us straight in the face and said, "Woof !" MM> But he didnt say anything about karfing up dinner... But was he house-trained as well? - From the insane desk of Supernerd - Ave, Rex Moderatus Physicus! / Taglines by Taglinator - www.srtware.com / ---* Origin: The Rock BBS - Where sanity is an option.
