A dog sees a "Now hiring" poster outside of a computer store.
The poster reads:

"Must be able to type. Must be able to program. And must be bilingual. We are an equal opportunity employer."

The dog takes the poster in his mouth, and walks in. The manager spots the dog, and decides to humour it, pulling up a chair and a computer with a word processor. "Alright, if you want to work here, you need to first write a letter," and leaves the room.

30 minutes later, he comes back in, and the dog has typed out a completely error-free letter.

"Well, I'll be. This is a smart dog. But can he program?" he asks himself.

20 minutes pass, and the dog has made a perfectly running website for the store.

He looks, shocked, at the dog, and finally speaks. "Look, I know you have the qualifications, but, well... you're a dog."

The dog nudges the words "We are an equal opportunity employer." on the poster, and the manager sighs.

"There's no way you're bilingual."

The dog looks him in the eyes, and says, "Meow."

My mind is like an internet browser. At least 19 open tabs, 3 of them are frozen, and I have no clue where the music is coming from.

I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only so many years later.

I don’t have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don’t have a curfew.

I have a driver’s license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don’t have acne.

Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.

Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.

I didn’t make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row. I decided to stop calling the bathroom the “John” and renamed it the “Jim”. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

Old age is coming at a really bad time. When I was a child I thought “Nap Time” was a punishment, now it feels like a small vacation.

The biggest lie I tell myself is ”I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

I don’t have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights"! I’m just very wise.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would’ve put them on my knees.

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven’t met yet.

Why do I have to press one for English when you’re just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice. AND GET IT.

At my age “Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.

Isn't that what Ricky Gervais said when he was skewering the entertainment industry's A-List of hypocrites a few years ago?

Philosophy Professor Fenwick was at his retirement party when he opened a gift from his friend in the Antiquities Department. It appeared to be a lamp. Fenwick joked, I suppose if I rub it…as he did, a Genie appeared from a cloud of smoke.

Professor, you’ve done a wonderful job here, the Genie said. I can grant you one of the following three things: eternal youth, unlimited wealth, or total knowledge.

Fenwick thought, and finally said, I’ve always sought understanding so I’d like to have total knowledge.

The Genie disappeared in a cloud of smoke. As the smoke cleared, Fenwick just sat there staring blankly. One of his students finally asked if he had received the knowledge. Fenwick looked at the youth and nodded yes.

Well Professor, is there anything you can tell us?

Yes. I should’ve took the money.

The difference between a recession and a depression? It’s very easy. A recession is when you lose your job. A depression is when I lose my job.
