I thought it might be worth a chuckle or two. ;-) +-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Erek Adams, Student Programmer | Internet: 92adams@hann2.nlu.edu (pref)| | Northeast Louisiana University | adams@gwyne.nlu.edu | | Monroe, Louisiana 71202 | SnailMail: 5330 DeSiard, #2 | | | Monroe, LA 71202 | +-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ #8 08 Mar 89 11:26:51 [22] From: Jesse Belasco To: Dec Humorists Subj: Four Dogs Four field service engineers from Compugraphic, Honeywell, Data General and Digital got together one day to brag about their dogs. Each one thought his dog was the smartest and had the most fantastic abilities, so they decided to show each other what their respective dogs could do. The Compugraphic worker called his dog T-SQUARE, gave her a piece of chalk, and told her to draw a square, a circle, and a triangle, which the dog did very accurately. The Honeywell worker agreed that T-SQUARE was a very remarkable dog, but said, "Let me show you what my dog can do." He called his dog, SLIDE RULE, and told her to go to a pile of cookies and bring back exactly one dozen, which SLIDE RULE did without hesitation. He then commanded the dog to separate the cookies into four equal stacks, and SLIDE RULE divided them into four stacks of three each with ease. They all agreed that his indeed was quite a feat. The Data General worker then called his dog to do her thing. "Come here MEASURE. Pour seven ounces of milk into this 10 oz. glass." The dog did just that, right to the 7 oz. mark on the glass. The all agreed that MEASURE was also a very smart dog. Then the Digital worker said he had watched all three dogs do fantastic things, but said, "Let me show you a clever animal..." He called his dog to him and said, "Now COFFEE BREAK, show them what you can do..." Without hesitation, COFFEE BREAK immediately ate all the cookies, drank all the milk, screwed the other three dogs, claimed a back injury, and went home on sick leave. ---> Anonymous DEC employee
