                       The Oldest Profession

Not too long ago, I was having dinner with a few friends. 
One was a doctor. one was a civil engineer and one was a 
programmer. We were discussing which of our respective 
professions was the oldest profession.

We had some debate about building the pyramids and so forth, 
but finally the doctor says that, definitely, medicine is 
the oldest profession. "If you go back, in the Bible, there 
in Genesis is the scene where God takes Adam's rib and 
creates woman. That's clearly an example of surgery. 
Therefore, medicine is the oldest profession."

But the engineer says, "Wait a minute. A couple pages 
earlier in Genesis, out of absolute chaos in just six days 
God creates firmament -- hills and valleys and rivers and 
streams. That's a major construction project so engineering 
is clearly the oldest profession."

The third person, the programmer, leans over and says: "Who 
do you think created the chaos?"
