What is Effective Communication ????

Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether
it would be all right to smoke while praying. Max replies, "Why don't
you ask the Priest?" So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest,
may I smoke while I pray?" But the Priest says, "No, my son, you may
not. That's utter disrespect to our religion." Jack goes back to his
friend and tells him what the good Priest told him. Max says, "I'm not
surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try." And so Max goes
up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I pray while I smoke?" To
which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all
means."

Moral : The reply you get depends on the question you ask.

For Example : Can I work on this project while I'm on vacation ?
