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?
