 HL> EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Did I ever tell you how we acquired this cat ?  We were looking 
for a bit of office help and put an ad in the local paper 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 afterwards, this cat trotted up to our front door and 
scratched for attention, sat on the mat and looked expectant.

Getting the idea, we said "We can't hire you. The ad said you have 
to be able to type."

The cat leapt past us, went to the keyboard and proceeded to type 
out a perfect letter. He took out the page and laid it on the desk 
neatly.

Stunned, we told the cat, "The ad said you have to be good with a 
computer."

The cat went back to the computer and proceeded to demonstrate a 
considerable expertise with various programs, produced a sample
spreadsheet and database, laying them out on the desk beside the 
letter.

Then he printed off the email that posted the ad in the paper...
with the bit about Equal Opportunity underlined !

By this time, we were totally dumbfounded!  We pointed out that 
our ad said, "that you have to be bilingual." ... and the cat 
looked at us straight in the face and said, "Woof !"

But he didnt say anything about karfing up dinner...

:-)
