A giggle ...
As sent to me in an email ...
Ever wonder why you pay professionals less than business or sales guys:
Dilbert's 'Salary Theorem' states that 'Engineers and scientists can never
earn as much as business executives and sales people.' This theorem can
now be supported by mathematical proof based on the following two postulates:
Postulate 1:
Knowledge = Power
Postulate 2:
Time = money
As every engineer knows:
Power = Work / Time.
Since Knowledge = Power, then Knowledge = Work/Time. Since Time = Money,
then Knowledge = Work/Money.
Solving for Money, we get Money = Work / Knowledge.
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity,
regardless of the amount of work done.
