Don’t Eat a Person Who Is Working

Five cannibals （Man eaters） get appointed as programmers in an IT 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 trouble the other employees．”The cannibals promise not to trouble the other employees．

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 developers has disappeared however．Do any of you know what happened to her？”The cannibals disown all knowledge of the missing developer．

After the boss has left，the leader of the cannibals says to the others，“Which of you idiots ate the developer？”

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 ate one developer and it got noticed．So hereafter please don’t eat a person who is working．”

别吃干活的

五个食人者被一家信息技术公司聘为程序员。

在欢迎仪式上老板说：“你们已经成为公司的一员。在这儿你们可以挣大钱。还有，你们可以到公司的餐厅就餐，注意不要打扰其他的雇员。”食人者答应不会给其他人添麻烦。

四个星期之后，老板找到他们道：“你们工作得都很努力，我对你们所有人都很满意。我们的一个开发员找不到了，你们知道她的下落吗？”食人者都否认见过这个失踪的开发员。

老板离开之后，食人者的老大对其他人道：“你们哪个笨蛋把开发员吃了？”

其中一个迟疑了一下，举起了手。老大对他道：“你这个笨蛋！四个星期以来，我们吃掉了公司的好几个领导，还有经理，以及项目经理，却没有一个人发现。你吃掉了一个开发员却被人发现了。请你千万记住，以后别吃干活的人。”
