Dilbert's Salary Theorem
-------------------------

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 a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time

Since: Knowledge = Power,
then Knowledge = Work/Time,
and 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.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make. Bummer.

[LuvTooGolf]

Morning Chip.

Morning LSU & Golf.

SHEESH!

[FloridaDean]

good morning Chip, and Dave, and Dave. a sleepless night, bikerlady just left to take care of the possums and get a little rest, she'll be back, probably be here by the time I get back from my haircut and a few groceries for the weekend.

Chip, I like Dilbert's theory - less you know the more you make. that's why the rich have more money than brains. Damn them.
