This is a joke I got from a mailing list a while back. I was bored, so I thought I'd share it...THE THEORUM OF EXECUTIVE SALARIES
As any engineer knows, the formula for Power is Work divided by Time. Let us infer two postulates:
Postulate A: Knowledge equals Power.
Postulate B: Time equals Money.
Again, P = W / T.
Substituting the values given in Postulates A and B, we arrive at:
K = W / M, or Knowledge equals Work divided by Money.
Solving for Work, we multiply both sides by M. We now have:
K * M = W, or Knowledge times Money equals Work.
Therefore, we can see that as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.
