Jack and Max are walking from religious service.
Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while
praying.
Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"
So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I smoke while
I pray?"
But the Priest 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 Priest
told him.
Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me
try."
And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I pray
while I smoke?"
To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all
means."
Moral: The reply you get depends on the question you ask.
For Example: Can I work on this project while I'm on
vacation?!?
