4 Cats

I know, I know, none of these are as good as HS, but I'm trying!
Four men were bragging about how smart their cats are. The first man was an engineer,the second man was an accountant, the third man was a chemist, the fourth was a government worker.
To show off, the engineer called to his cat, "T-square, do your stuff". T-square pranced over to a desk, took out some paper and a 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 into the kitchen and returned iwth a dozen cookies. He divided theminto 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each.
Everyone agreed that was very good.
But the chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Beaker, do your stuff". Beaker got up, walked over 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 outstanding.
Then the 3 men turned to the government worker and said, "What can your cat do?" The government worker called to his cat and said, "Coffee Break, do your stuff". Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, pooped on the paper, attacked the other three cats, claimed he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe conditions, put in for Worker's Compensation, and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.
Now before the "attacks", I have been a government worker to in my past!

(sigh) I, too, fondly remember my days as a government worker... Small office, very overstaffed, hours 8 to 4:30 M-F, 1.5 hour lunches... those were the days.
