A doctor, an architect and a programmer talk about their professions. "Mine is the oldest", says the doctor, "as everybody knows God created Eve from the rib of Adam, and that's definitely a medical operation". "Right", says the architect, "but in fact architect is even older - it's definitely an architectural project to create the world from chaos". At this point programmer kicks back in the chair and gives friends a mysterious look. "Who, do you think, created the chaos?"

I always heard this with a lawyer at the end.

The joke's context is Genesis chapters 1-2, so it wouldn't make sense to include a lawyer. Satan only shows up in chapter 3.

I wish I could give this joke a trophy.

As others mentioned, I've also heard this as a lawyer taking claim from the chaos.

I also heard this from a friend that heard it from Ronald Reagan, who claimed it was his favorite joke.

All not mine, and definitely old - but we're a big bunch, there are lots of programmers, and not everybody heard them :) .
