Dilbert of the year

[Bruce]

IMHO:

Reducing dependance on foreign oil

I want a dog like Dogbert. We have the same mind.

It should also be mentioned that the moment we stop buying oil from middle-eastern countries, we will effectively ruin their economies. What are they going to do, sell sand? They would hate us even more.

Ok, we're all friends here, right? Who else had to look up the word fungible? Come on, admit it.

Ok, I had to look up ignoramus too.

Not me. I know "fungible" stands for "edible fungus".

 

[LibraryLady]

I know what fungible means. But then I'm a librarian and I know everything.

Except how to hide your chequebook!

[LibraryLady]

Ducks? Where? Oh, how pretty.

(...you'd better duck, turkey)

Bruce,
The old place that I worked at had yearly ethics training. For the first three years, it was a Dilbert-based Ethics course. I always picked the Dogbert answers. This could explain the remedial training that I had to do....

Ýou do realize that your last paragraph flat out contradicts the point the comic makes, right?

That stopping buying from one source would not hurt their economy whatsoever. They would simply sell to the other people who had been cut off by our new suppliers (who couldn't increase their sales to us and at the same time sell to the other people).

The only way to hurt oil producers is to globally use much less oil. In this, Dogbert is wrong. Reducing oil consumption (in part by using more fuel-efficient cars) will in fact hurt oil producers, even if a single purchase has no noticeable impact.

 

[Freakshow]

That was great.

I think hybrid cars make another statement: "I have no testosterone."

There is just something awfully "wrong" with people that don't know how to use cars to release endorphins.

The best way to irritate the oil countries would be to invent a cheap, clean, renewable power source and give it away free to everybody who wants one.

I got yer testosterone right here...

So that must mean a muscle car makes the statement, "I have to buy artificial testosterone."

LOL.

Alan: Well, last week we showed you how to become a gynaecologist. And this week on 'How to do it' we're going to show you how to play the flute, how to split an atom, how to construct a box girder bridge, how to irrigate the Sahara Desert and make vast new areas of land cultivatable, but first, here's Jackie to tell you all how to rid the world of all known diseases.
Jackie: Hello, Alan.
Alan: Hello, Jackie.
Jackie: Well, first of all become a doctor and discover a marvellous cure for something, and then, when the medical profession really starts to take notice of you, you can jolly well tell them what to do and make sure they get everything right so there'll never be any diseases ever again.

Muscle car?!?!! Hell no! Imports, baby! There are no good cars that aren't made in Japan.

I'm not buying artificial testosterone. I'm buying an artificial means of releasing endorphins. I love dopamine...

Have you been in one?

I had the pleasure of going in one at TAM4, it was the biggest boy's toy imaginable. It was one giant gadget, I can't think of anything that's more manly, to be honest.

I want one.

Um... Aren't the Japanese the pioneers in hybrids? I agree with you though Japanese cars. I'll never own anything elese. They're cheap, they don't break down and they perform.
