            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 slated, the manager retired.  On the way to his   
   retirement lunch, he discovered the programmer asleep at his terminal.   
   He had been programming all night.
