Dilbert's Salary Theorem
Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can never
earn as much as business executives and sales people."
This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the
following two postulates:
As every engineer knows:
Power = Work / Time
Since:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
Knowledge = Work/Money.
Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge.
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of
the amount of work done.
Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.
Comments:
Everybody know that in real life the "A" students take orders from the "C" students. Seeing as my GPA is somewhere around 2.2, this bodes well for me.
The giant blueberry isn't in Sussex, it's just outside of Petitcodiac west of Moncton. I grew up in Sussex and I am happy to say that there's no "world's largest" anything there... sure there's a giant cow, but we don't make any claims about it.

Yet by transitivity:
Money=Work/Power
If Dilbert does lots of work and has little power then why isn't he rich?
