While strolling past a pet shop, a cat notices a sign in the window: Help Wanted.
Knowing himself to be no ordinary feline, he saunters into the shop and calls out "Hello! I'd like to apply for the job."
The owner of the pet shop is very amused at the idea of a talking cat, and she wants to hear more, so she plays along, saying "Oh, I'm sorry, but this is a clerical job. We need someone who can type and file."
The cat hastens over to the office typewriter and, quick as a wink, he pounds out something about a quick brown fox and a lazy dog until he has filled a page. He grabs a stack of papers, alphabetizes them by subject matter, and puts them away in the file cabinet in less time than one would expect of a critter who lacks opposable thumbs.
The owner is charmed, but figures she can't possibly hire a cat, so she thinks of another excuse. "You type very nicely, and your filing is flawless, but this job demands computer literacy."
The cat immediately takes his place in front of the computer and, mouse in paw, cruises the Web, gathering useful information about increasing the profitability of pet shops (stopping briefly at Jumbo Joke to see the latest entry).
The owner is stunned. She has got to think of a tactful way to tell this cat that she isn't going to give him a job.
"Well, you're an amazing cat indeed. You type, you file, and you're a computer whiz. But we really, really must have someone who is bilingual."
The cat stares imploringly into the owner's eyes and says "Woof!"

Unless the mouse doesn't freeze under the paw of our bilingual clerk- prospect, it is ok. Check whether the new recruit is not used to winks, visitors will be embarrassed.
Accepted as nicely written humor.
