Rephrase your Questions

Jack and Max are 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 Example: Can I work on this project
while I'm on vacation? :-)
