DilbertIt's so small - I can't even find it!
DilbertThis is impossible! How am I gonna get any work done if there's no tension?
DilbertWhat kind of madhouse is this?!
DilbertI thought you were gonna wake me at 6:30?
I also said women like men who are shaped like potatoes. Can you find a pattern here?
DilbertI had the egg dream again.
"I,I,I."
DilbertWhat do you think an egg dream means?
Mmm, probably an omen.
DilbertA good omen?
How many good omens involve things that come out of a chicken's butt?
DilbertThere only has to be one.
DilbertGood morning, shower!
Good morning, Dilbert!
Hmm, don't you do enough engineering at work?
DilbertWork is just meetings, this is engineering. If this works, someday all showers will be voice activated.
Dogbert [sitting on a stool]: Is it that hard to turn the knobs?
DilbertIt's not that it's hard, it's unnecessary. [To ASM] 99, please.
99. [shower turns on at 99 degrees; Dilbert steps inside]
Dogbert [aside]: 400.
[The ASM does nothing]
DilbertHeh-heh, nice try. But the shower is calibrated to respond to my voice only.
Why, you think of everything!
DilbertI'm cautious.
That's why you had training wheels on your bike until you were 17.
DilbertI was 14.
14. [makes the shower temperature 14 degrees]
DilbertAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! [is frozen in a block of ice] 99! 99! 99! [shower goes back to 99 degrees, as the ice melts] Don't do that!
Where'd you get the voice for that thing? It sounds like the voice for that stupid movie; what was it called, "something, something, a Space Odyssey"?
DilbertIt wasn't "Something, something, a Space Odyssey", it was "2001: A Spa-" [cut to the exterior of the house, as the ASM evidently makes the shower temperature 2001 degrees] AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!
[back inside, a red-skinned Dilbert wraps a towel around himself, which then catches on fire as he walks off-screen]
On the plus-side, you look very clean.
DilbertI told them at the rollout meeting that anthrax was a bacteria, not a herb!
No you didn't!
DilbertWell, I was thinking it pretty hard!
DilbertTo save time, I've hired a consultant to help us find a name for our next product.
[The "consultant" turns around in his swivel chair and reveals himself to be Dogbert]
He doesn't look like any consultant I've ever seen!
Dogbert [writing on a piece of paper]: Recommendation: Downsize the Loud Guy.
Uh, I-I take it back!
Anyone else want a piece of me?
As you probably know, all the good product names have been trademarked by companies who are competent.
Competent? How are we going to compete with that?
Well, there's no point in killing a dead horse.
DilbertYou mean there's no point in beating a dead horse.
Why would anyone beat a dead horse?
DilbertWhy would anyone kill a dead horse?
Maybe it kicked ya.
DilbertIt's dead!
And so is every customer who has used our flagship product!
DilbertDo you think the guy who invented the mouse pad started with the name? What's a mouse pad?
Heheh, feminine protection for mice.
[Alice smacks Wally in the face with a book]
Help, Dilbert, I've been shot!
Dilbert"I've been shot!", "I've been shot!"—I have a few problems of my own you know!
Yeah I heard about the name thing, that's a drag…
Why don't you call your product the Gruntmaster 6000?
DilbertWhat kind of product do you see when you imagine a Gruntmaster 6000?
Well it's a stripped-down version of the Gruntmaster 9000 of course. But it's software-upgradeable.
DilbertLena's team is so big you could get lost in the crowd and never have to lift a finger.
They might get the big raises and party atmosphere, but they'll never know the satisfaction that comes from really hard work.
[Wally vanishes.]
DilbertYou could have worded that better.
Get out while you still can.
DilbertGet out?
Can't you see? We're severed heads in a jar!
DilbertWell maybe it didn't work out with you guys, but that doesn't mean it won't work out with me. She really likes me.
Team Lena is going down!
DilbertMust one person's triumph be another's humiliation?
Of course.
DilbertThat's it! I've done it!
That's not the word on the street.
