From March 7
Dilbert walks along hall, Pointy-hair boss (PHB) lurking around corner
PHB, thinking "The Master of Delegation hears the foorsteps of his prey"
PHB pops out at Dilbert, "Hi!" and Dilbert screams, "GAAA!!"
PHB: hands Dilbert piece of paper, "Call this vendor and tell him I want the third thing he told me about."
Dilbert: "Okay. That will save two minutes of your valuable time. When the vendor asks me dozens of questions should I just guess at the answers? Or would you prefer to spend an hour fiving me enough background so you can avoid a two-minute call? You know what's funny? This conversation lasted a minute...and there are two of us."
PHB: "Are you done?"
Dilbert (looking at the piece of paper): "I think you wrote down your own phone number."
