A doctor, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The doctor remarked, ‘Well, in the Bible it says that God created Eve from a rib taken from Adam. This clearly required surgery, so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world.’
The civil engineer interrupted and said, ‘But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong; mine is the oldest profession in the world.’
The computer scientist leaned back in his chair, smiled and said confidently, ‘Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?’
