Five cannibals get jobs as programmers in a high-tech company. During the
welcoming ceremony the boss says: "You're all part of our team now. You can
earn good money here, and you can go to the company canteen for something to
eat. So don't go eating the other employees". The cannibals promise not to
eat any of the staff.
Four weeks later the boss returns and says: "You're all working very hard,
and I'm very satisfied with all of you. One of our cleaners has disappeared
however. Do any of you know what happened to her?" The cannibals disavow
all knowledge of the missing cleaner.
After the boss has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others:
"Okay, which one of you idiots ate the cleaner?"
One of the cannibals raises his hand hesitantly, to which the leader of
the cannibals says:
"You FOOL! For four weeks we've been eating team leaders, managers and
project managers and no-one has noticed anything, and now YOU have to go
and eat the cleaner!"
