Yeah, I know; this is not original with me and can be told more than one way. But here goes:
The four cats -- T-Square, Spreadsheet; Measure, and Coffee Break
Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were. The first man was an engineer, the second an accountant, the third a chemist, and the fourth man was Obama's government employee.
To show off the engineer called his cat, "T-Square, do your stuff." T-Square pranced over to the desk, took out paper and pen, and 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 l2 cookies. He stacked them into four piles of three cookies each. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, went to the refrigerator, 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 asked, "What can your cat do?" The government man called his cat, "Coffee Break, do your stuff."
Coffee Break jumped to his feet.
He drank the milk, ate the cookies, and then beat up the other three cats. Later, he claimed he injured his back while doing so, so he filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for welfare Compensation and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.
