/ A manager asked a programmer how long it would take him to finish the           \
| program on which he was working.  "I will be finished tomorrow," the programmer |
| promptly replied.                                                               |
| "I think you are being unrealistic," said the manager. "Truthfully,             |
| how long will it take?"                                                         |
| The programmer thought for a moment.  "I have some features that I wish         |
| to add.  This will take at least two weeks," he finally said.                   |
| "Even that is too much to expect," insisted the manager, "I will be             |
| satisfied if you simply tell me when the program is complete."                  |
| The programmer agreed to this.                                                  |
| Several years later, the manager retired.  On the way to his                    |
| retirement lunch, he discovered the programmer asleep at his terminal.          |
| He had been programming all night.                                              |
