Four men, an Engineer, an Accountant, a Chemist and a Government Worker were
bragging about how smart their dogs were.

To show off, the Engineer called to his dog and said, "T-square, do your
stuff."

T- square trotted 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 dog could do better. He called his dog and said,
"Slide Rule, do your stuff."

Slide Rule went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He
divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each. Everyone agreed that was
good. But the Chemist said his dog could do better. He called his dog and said,
"Measure, do your stuff."

Measure got up, walked over 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. Everyone agreed that was good. Then the three men turned to the
Government Worker and said, "What can your dog do?"

The Government Worker called to his dog and said, "Coffee Break, do your
stuff."

Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, dumped on
the paper, barked at the other three dogs, claimed he injured his back while
doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for
Worker's Compensation and went home on sick leave!
