在一个幽默的故事中，一位医生、一位土木工程师和一位计算机科学家争论哪个职业最古老。医生引用了《圣经》中的故事来支持他的观点，而土木工程师则认为上帝创造天地的壮举才是最早的土木工程实例。最后，计算机科学家提出了一个令人深思的问题。

A physician, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The physician remarked, "Weil, 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 computer scientist leaned back in her chair, smiled, and then said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"--Grady Booch
