Gerbil Twist on a Dog Joke

----------------------------------------------

A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window,
stating the following:

HELP WANTED.
Must be able to type, must be good with numbers, and must be bilingual.
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.

A short time afterwards, a pair of gerbils scampered up to the window, saw the
sign and went inside.
They hopped up on the reception desk, looked at the receptionist and thumped,
then scurried over to the sign, looked at it and thumped a bit more.

Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager.

The office manager looked at the gerbils and was surprised, to say the least.

However, the gerbils looked determined, so he led them into the office.

Inside, the gerbils jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager.

The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type."

The gerbils hopped onto his desk, scurried over to his computer, opened WORD,
then began to tap-dance across the keyboard. In a flash, they had typed out a
perfectly-formatted business letter.

The manager was stunned, but then told the gerbils, "The sign says you have to
be good with a numbers."

One gerbil opened EXCEL and promptly graphed and organized the firm's monthly
expenses, while the second dragged out a calculator and the manager's checkbook
and balanced it to the penny.

By this time the manager was totally dumbfounded! He looked at the gerbils and
said,
"I realize that you are very intelligent gerbils and have some interesting
abilities.
However, I still can't give you the job."

The gerbils jumped down, ran over to a copy of the HELP WANTED sign, and began
to chew under the sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer.

The manager said, "Yes, but the sign also says that you have to be bilingual."

The gerbils looked at the manager calmly then said in unison, "WOOF."
