An Engineer, an Accountant, a Chemist and a Government Employee were
bragging about how smart their cats were. Each one wagered $100 that his
cat was the smartest.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do your stuff."
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and 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 to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies.
He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies. 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 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 into the ! glass. Everyone
agreed that was pretty good. Then the three men turned to the Government
Employee and said, "What can your cat do?"
The Government Employee called his cat and said, "Coffee Break, do your
stuff." Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the
milk, (Bad Word) 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.
The other three men laid down their C-notes, picked up their cats, and
left for the State Capitol to apply for jobs.
