Asking Questions

Jack and Max are walking in the hallway after a religious
service. Jack wonders if it would be all right to smoke
while praying.

Max replies, "Why don't you ask the rabbi?"

So Jack goes up to the rabbi and asks, "Rabbi, may I smoke
while I pray?"

But the rabbi says, "No, my son, you may not. That's utter
disrespect to our religion."

Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good
rabbi told him. Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the
wrong question. Let me try."

And so Max goes up to the rabbi and asks, "Rabbi, may I pray
while I smoke?"

To which the rabbi eagerly replies, "By all means, my son.
By all means."

Moral: The reply you get depends on the question you ask.

For example: May I work on this project while I'm on
vacation?
