Sorry if you guys don't enjoy, I just thought I'd share what's going around the office:
There was a doctor, a civil engineer, and a computer developer sitting around late one evening, and they discussed which the oldest profession was.
The doctor pointed out that according to Biblical tradition, God created Eve from Adam's rib.
This obviously required surgery, so therefore that was the oldest profession in the world.
The engineer countered with an earlier passage in the Bible that stated that God created order from the chaos, and that was most certainly the biggest and best civil engineering example ever, and also proved that his profession was the oldest profession.
The computer developer leaned back in her chair, and with a sly smile responded, "Yes, but whom do you think created the chaos?"
