SCRUM Humor:

A chicken and a pig are together when the chicken says, "Let's start a restaurant!"
The pig thinks it over and says, "What would we call this restaurant?"
The chicken says, "Ham n' Eggs!"
The pig says, "No thanks, I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved!"

Ha Ha! Ok nerd humor.

SCRUM Master:

• The ScrumMaster works with the customers and management to identify and instantiate a Product Owner.
• The ScrumMaster teaches the Product Owner how to do his or her job.
• Product Owners are expected to know how to manage to optimize value using Scrum.
• If they don’t, we hold the ScrumMaster accountable.
