Canine Intelligence

"CANINE INTELLIGENCE

An engineer, an accountant, a chemist, an IT specialist and a Colombian senator were bragging about how smart their dogs were.

The engineer told his dog, “Protractor, show what you can do.‿ The dog gathered some bricks and boards, and built a small doghouse. All agreed that it was incredible.

The accountant said his dog could do better. “Cash Flow, show what you can do.‿ The dog went to the kitchen, returned with 12 cookies and divided them into 4 piles of three cookies each. That was pretty neat, all agreed.

The chemist said that his dog could do even better. “Oxide, show what you can do.‿ Oxide walked to the refrigerator, took exactly 500 milliliters of milk, peeled a banana, used the blender and made a smoothie. All agreed that it was impressive.

The IT specialist said he could beat them all. “Megabyte, do it!‿ Megabyte crossed the room, turned on the computer, checked it for viruses, upgraded the operating system, sent an e-mail and installed an excellent game. All knew that this would be very hard to beat.

They turned to the Colombian politician and asked, “And your dog, what can he do?‿

The politician called his dog and said, “Paraco, show what you can do!‿

Paraco jumped up, ate all the cookies, drank the smoothie, erased all the files from the computer, “disappeared‿ the other four dogs, declared himself to be an Uribe supporter, and took over the land title to the doghouse.

Afterward, the politician insisted that he had never met the dog, that he had never even seen it, and that a photograph showing them together was faked…"

2nd to last paragraph needs to be proofed. Sorry but will be confusing to non para sympathizers.

I just copied it from somewhere.
What's unclear in the second to last paragraph?
It's obviously a translation, perhaps not a good one, of a Colombian joke.

INTELIGENCIA CANINA

Estaban un ingeniero, un contador, un químico, un informático y un senador
colombiano alardeando sobre la inteligencia de sus perros...

El ingeniero ordenó a su perro: "¡Escalímetro, muestra tus habilidades!

"El perro agarró unos ladrillos, unas tablas y se armó el solo una
casucha."

Todos admitieron que era increíble.

El contador dijo que su perro podía hacer algo mejor. "¡Cash flow, muestra
tus habilidades"!

"El perro fue a la cocina, volvió con 12 galletas y las dividió en 4 pilas
de 3 galletitas cada una".

Todos admitieron que era genial.

El químico dijo que su perro podía hacer algo aún mejor.

"¡Óxido, muestra tus habilidades!"

Óxido caminó hasta la refrigeradora, tomó un litro de leche, peló un
banano, usó la licuadora y se hizo un batido.

Todos aceptaron que era impresionante.

El informático sabía que podía ganarles a todos:

"¡Megabyte, hazlo!"

Megabyte atravesó el cuarto, encendió la computadora, controló si tenía
virus, mejoró el sistema operativo, mandó un e-mail e instaló un juego
excelente.

Todos sabían que esto era muy difícil de superar

Miraron de reojo al político colombiano y le dijeron:

Y su perro, ¿qué puede hacer...?

El político llamó a su perro y dijo:

"¡Paraco, muestra tus habilidades!"

" Paraco se paró de un salto, se comió las galletas, se tomó el batido,
borró todos los archivos de la computadora, masacró a los otros cuatro
perros y los enterró en una fosa común, se declaró uribista y consiguió la
escritura de la casucha.

Después el político alegó que nunca se había reunido con ese perro, que
nunca lo había visto y que la foto que muestran con él es un montaje.
