Smart Cat
Four men were bragging about how
smart their cats were.
The first man was an engineer,
the second man was an accountant, the third man was a chemist,
the fourth was a government worker.
To show off, the engineer called
to his cat, "T-Square, do your stuff."
T-Square pranced over to a desk, took out some paper and a pen
and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.
Everyone agreed that was pretty
smart.
But the accountant said his cat
could do better. He called his cat and said, "Spreadsheet, do
your stuff."
Spreadsheet went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen
cookies. He divided them into four equal piles of three cookies each.
Everyone agreed that was good.
But the chemist said his cat
could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your
stuff."
Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of
milk, got a ten ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly
eight ounces without spilling a drop.
Everyone agreed that was good.
Then the three men turned to the
government worker and said, "What can your cat do?"
The government worker called to
his cat and said, "Coffee Break, do your stuff."
Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the
milk, shat on the paper, screwed the other three cats, 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. |
