This is one of many jokes and humorous articles I collected, mainly from USENET and similar
sources in the early to mid 1990s. They're really not very interesting nowadays.

In case you've ever wondered why ignorance rises to the
executive level, here is a simple explanation that is also a
mathematical proof.
Knowledge is Power
Time is Money
and, as every engineer knows:
Work
Power = --------
Time
If Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money,
then
Work
Knowledge = ---------
Money
Solving for Money, we get:
Work
Money = -------------
Knowledge
Thus Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches
zero, regardless of the Work done. What this means is:
The Less you Know, the More you Make.
