       The Boss says, "Alice, I'd like you to meet the newest member of my
       management team."   The Boss continues, "Keith is highly qualified, he
       has a masters in business administration."  Alice and Keith shake
       hands.   Alice says, "Very impressive.  They must have taught you a
       lot about motivating employees."  Keith replies, "No, not really."  
       Alice says, "Well . . . You probably learned how to identify and hire
       good people, right?"  Keith replies, "That might have been optional
       reading."   Alice asks, "Did you learn negotiation skills?  Strategic
       thinking?  Business writing?"  Keith answers "No" to all three
       questions.   Keith explains, "It was mostly finance and accounting. 
       And economics."   Alice says, "So, you're a highly qualified leader
       because . . . You're good at math?"   Keith whispers to the Boss,
       "What should I do here?"  The Boss replies, "In these situations I
       like to use swearing."
