How Government Works

The Four Cats

I was lucky to be sent this while it was doing its round on the net. I found it hillarious and so correct, that I felt I must share it. Please read it and let me now what you think.

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.

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!!
