"Lazy"
A site foreman had ten very lazy men working
for him, so one day he decided to trick them
into doing some work for a change.
"I've got a really easy job today for the laziest
one among you," he announced. "Will the
laziest man please put his hand up."
Nine hands went up.
"Why didn't you put your hand up?" he asked
the tenth man.
"Too much trouble," came the reply.

"Money and Knowledge"
Here's the answer to the question, "why is
my salary so low?":
Engineers and scientists will never make as
much money as business executives. Now a
rigorous mathematical proof that explains why
this is true:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows,
Work
-------- = Power
Time
Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money,
we have:
Work
--------- = Knowledge
Money
Solving for Money, we get:
Work
----------- = Money
Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero,
Money approaches infinity regardless of the
Work done.
Conclusion: The less you know, the more
money you make.
