The Chicken and the Pig

My post yesterday talked about Anna's thoughts on being Fit or Fat. My friend (and pastor) Scott discussed the same post here, adding his take on being a Consumer or Contributor.

This is a common illustration in the software industry. In fact, we call it the "The Chicken and the Pig go to Breakfast".

The story goes something like:

A chicken and a pig went to breakfast one morning and talked:

Chicken:
Let's start a restaurant!

Pig:
What would we call it?

Chicken:
Ham and Eggs!

Pig:
No thanks. I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved!
