Oldest Profession ...

A physician, a civil engineer, and a consultant were arguing about
what was the oldest profession in the world.

The physician remarked, "Well, in the Bible, it says that God
created Eve from a rib taken out of Adam. This clearly required
surgery, and so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession
in the world."

The civil engineer interrupted, and said, "But even earlier in the
book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens
and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly
the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore,
fair doctor, you are wrong: mine is the oldest profession in the world."

The consultant leaned back in her chair, smiled, and then said
confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"
