Dilbet's Salary Theorem
Thursday, Jun 01, 2000
Okay, it was spam from a friend, but cute enough to post:

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 onthe following two postulates:

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

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time,

Since:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money

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.


So, who can find the hole in the logic?

If you like it, please share it.
