Four workers were discussing how smart their dogs were. The first was an
engineer who said his dog could draw. His dog's name was "T-Square", and he
told him to get some paper and draw a square, a circle and a triangle, which
he easily did.
The accountant said he thought his dog, "Balance", could do better. He told
him to fetch a dozen cookies and divide them into piles of three, which he
did with no problem.
The chemist said that was a very good stunt, but that his dog, "Apothecary",
could do better yet. He told his dog to get a quart of milk and pour seven
ounces into a ten ounce glass. Apothecary did this without a hitch.
All three men agreed their dogs were equally smart. They turned to the civil
servant and asked him what his dog could do. The civil servant called his
dog, whose name was "Coffee Break", and said, "Show the fellows what you can
do, old buddy." Coffee Break then strolled over and ate the cookies, drank
the milk, shit on the paper, screwed the other three dogs and claimed he
injured his back while doing so. He then filed a grievance for unsafe
conditions, applied for workers' compensation, and left for home on sick
leave.
