[rec.humor.funny] An example of systems analysis

[ I've managed to trace the essence of this story back as far as a
professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the
University of Denver. ]

A social worker, a minister, and a systems analyst set out one day to
play a friendly game of golf.  At the course, they found a long line
waiting to get to the first tee.  They asked the party in front of
them what the problem was, and were told that a group of blind golfers
was on the course ahead of them.

The following conversation ensued:

Social Worker:    Isn't it wonderful what handicapped people can do if
                  you just give them half a chance?

Minister:         It certainly is, but those golfers aren't on the
                  course alone.  The Lord helps those who help
                  themselves.

Systems Analyst:  Yeah, it's neat all right, but why the hell can't they
                  play at night?
