THE CANNIBALS….
July 18th, 2005
Five cannibals get appointed as programmers in an IT company. During
the welcoming ceremony the boss says: “You’re all part of our team
now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the company
canteen for something to eat. So don’t trouble the other employees”.
The cannibals promise not to trouble the other employees.
Four weeks later the boss returns and says: “You’re all working very
hard, and I’m very satisfied with all of you. One of our cleaners
has disappeared however. Do any of you know what happened to her?”
The cannibals disavow all knowledge of the missing cleaner. After
the boss has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others:
“Which of you idiots ate the cleaner?”
A hand raises hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals says:
“You fool! For four weeks we’ve been eating Team Leaders, Managers,
and Project Managers so no-one would notice anything, and you have
to go and eat the cleaner!”
