A large corporation recently hired several cannibals.

"You are all part of our team now", said the HR rep during
the welcoming briefing.  "You get all the usual benefits and
you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but
please..  don't eat any of the other employees".

The cannibals promised they would not.

Four weeks later their boss remarked, "You're all working
very hard, and I'm satisfied with your work.  However, one
of our secretaries has disappeared.  Do any of you know what
happened to her?"

The cannibals all shook their heads no.  After the boss had
left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, "Which
one of you idiots ate the secretary?"

A hand rose hesitantly.

"You fool!" the leader continued.  "For four weeks we've
been eating managers and no one noticed anything.  But
NOOOooo, you had to go and eat someone who actually does
something!!!"
