Dilbert: I just spent three days using virtual reality with no human contact whatsoever. Now every time I interact with an organic human, I feel cheated.
Carol: Present company excluded?
Dilbert: Here's another problem I never have in virtual reality.
Alice says to Dilbert, "I'm learning to golf." Alice says to Dilbert, "Now I won't be excluded from all the male-dominated golf events." Dilbert says to Wally, who's staring at his computer screen, "Have you been dominating golf events?" Wally says, "Sometimes I can make them miss putts on TV."
Asok: Why is Alice always so angry? Wally: It's a function of her unrealistic expectations. I'm never disappointed because I expect people to be ignorant, self-absorbed, and useless. Asok: Present company excluded? Wally: And there it is.
