Granting Wishes
Posted by: JesterA lead hardware engineer, a lead software engineer, and their project manager are taking a walk outdoors during their lunch break.
While discussing the problems they’re experiencing on their current project, they come upon an old brass lamp. One of them picks it up and dusts it off. Poof – out pops a genie.
“Thank you for releasing me from my lamp-prison. I can grant you three wishes. Since there are three of you, I will grant one wish to each of you.”
The hardware engineer thinks a moment and says, “I’d like to be sailing a yacht across the Pacific, racing before the wind, with an all-girl crew.”
“It is done”, said the Genie, and poof, the hardware engineer disappears.
The software engineer thinks a moment and says, “I’d like to be riding my Harley with a gang of beautiful women throughout the American Southwest.”
“It is done”, said the Genie, and poof, the software engineer disappears.
The project manager looks at where the other two had been standing and without hesitation tells the Genie, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”
