חגיגה יא

A contractor, an architect and a lawyer were having lunch, when the lawyer raised the question of which profession is oldest.  The contractor responded that, as stated in the חומש, in the beginning השם created Heaven and earth.  That is contracting, making it the oldest profession.  The architect replied: “But השם first had a plan, and that is architecture.”  The lawyer smiled and said: “You’re both forgetting one thing.  The חומש indeed tells us that in the beginning השם created Heaven and earth.  But out of what did He create it?  Out of chaos.  And who do you think created the chaos?”
