Two programmers named Diagu and Gudo were making presentations to the president of a large corporation When he stood up to speak, Gudo said to the executive, "You are wise by nature and understand the true meaning of computers." "Nonsense," said Diagu, "Why do you praise this fool? He may be an executive, but he knows nothing about computers." The executive rewarded them both and then hired a consultant to determine which of them was correct. -- The Zen of Programming
