Four men, an engineer, an acocuntant, a chemist and a government

bureaucrat were bragging about how smart their dogs are. 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 deftly drew a circle,

a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty cool.

Next, the accountant called his dog and said, "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 really cool.

But the chemist said his dog could do better. He called 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 very impressive.

Then the three men turned to the government bureaucrat and said, "What

can your dog do?" (You knew this was coming, huh?) Well, he called to

his dog and said, "Coffee Break; do your stuff." Coffee Break jumped to

his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, pooped on the paper, sexually

assaulted the other three 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 the rest of the day on sick

leave.

Ouch!
