政府之犬 GOVERNMENT DOG
工程师、会计师、化学师和政府职员四个人都在吹嘘他们的狗有多聪明。为了卖弄本领,工程师招来他的狗,说:“丁字尺,露一手。”
丁字尺赶紧跑到桌子边,拿出纸和笔,迅速画了一个圆圈,一个正方形和一个三角形。大家都说这狗很聪明。但会计师说,他的狗更棒。他招来他的狗,说:“计算尺,露一手。”
计算尺钻进厨房,拿来一打曲奇饼。他把曲奇饼分成四堆,每堆三块。大家都说这是条好狗。
但化学师说,他的狗还更棒。他招来自己的狗,说:“量器,露一手。”
量器站起来,走到冰箱前,拿出一夸脱牛奶,从橱柜中拿出一个10盎司玻璃杯,倒了8盎司牛奶,不多不少,一滴不洒。大家都说真是条好狗。
接着,他们三人转向政府职员,说:“你的狗能干什么?”
政府职员招来自己的狗,说:“咖啡时间,露一手。”
咖啡时间一跃而起,吃掉曲奇饼,喝干牛奶,在纸上拉撒一通,把另外三条狗调戏一番,结果说它闪了腰,交了份申诉报告,抱怨工作条件不保险,要求给予职工补偿,然后回家休病假去了。
