Jack and Max R walking from religious service.

Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.

Max replies, Why don t you ask the Priest?

So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, Priest, may I smoke while I pray?

But the Priest says, No, my son, you may not. That s utter disrespect to our religion.

Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.

Max says, I m not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try.

And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, Priest, may I pray while I smoke?

To which the Priest eagerly replies, By all means, my son. By all means.

Moral : The reply you get depends on the question you ask.

For Ex: Can I work on this project while I m on vacation
