Bloo Loo Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 The Four Cats 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, and The fourth man was a Government Employee. 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, "CoffeeBreak, do your stuff." CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet....... Ate the cookies........ Drank the milk....... Sh*t 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............ AND THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!! Quote

Actually there was a "fifth man", a Politician. His cat managed to square the circle. Quote

Cozza Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 It's a good life if you can get it so long as you don't mind earning peanuts Quote
no_more_bull Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 It's a good life if you can get it so long as you don't mind earning peanuts You might earn peanuts (read: 20% less than market salaries) ... but they are for life, without doing anything. Index linked final salary pension anyone? Quote
