Dilbert and Wally walk toward each other in the hallway. Dilbert thinks, "Collision course . . ." Dilbert thinks, "I hate this . . . We'll both veer in the same direction, then the other. He'll say something studpid, like 'Shall we dance?'" Dilbert ducks and Wally trips over him. Dilbert thinks, "This method isn't much better."
"I'm the project leader for the Dogbert Consulting Company. You simple employees shall do my bidding."
"I'll be sending you on an endless variety of data-gathering expeditions. That will keep you busy while I do the thinking."
"By the way, this may look like a slab of liver but it's an external brain pack."
"My career just reached an all time low."
Dogbert stands on a desk chair and types, "To his horror, Dilbert discovers that all of his white socks have holes. 'My goodness!' he cries, 'I shall be forced to wear black socks to work.'" Dogbert continues typing, "'If only my pants reached the tops of my shoes, then the other engineers might not notice,' Dilbert despaired." Dilbert asks, "What are you writing?" Dogbert turns around and answers, "It's a 'geek' tragedy."
Dogbert stands in front of a classroom holding a pointer. Dogbert yells, "Jennifer! Put that flame-thrower away right this minute!" Dogbert yells, "Eugene! Release those hostages or I shall be forced to fling this chalk eraser at your head!" Dogbert yells, "Is that a 'Stinger' missile launcher? Well, I hope you brought enough for everybody!" The student replies, "I did."
Dogbert says to Bob the Dinosaur, "You know, Bob, I always pictured you dinosaurs as . . . Uh . . . Much bigger." Bob replies, "Ah, well, you see, practical jokes were very popular in the Mesozoic era . . ." A dinosaur says to a clerk in a novelty store, "Ooh-ooh! Give me the giant plastic bone and one fake vomit!" The salesclerk asks, "Shall I wrap them or just toss them in the tar pits?"
Dilbert sits in his chair reading the newspaper and Dogbert stands on the hassock wearing a turban. Dogbert says, "I've changed my name to Nostradogbert the Prophet." Dogbert continues, "Nostradogbert predicts that a monkey shall speak skeptically of the great." Dilbert replies, "That's ridiculous." Dogbert says, "One-for-one so far." Dilbert says, "I doubt it."
The Boss, Dilbert, Wally, Alice and Ted sit at a conference table. The Boss says, "This thankless assignment shall go to whoever asks a question or makes eye contact." The employees all look away as the Boss continues, "It's really, really stupid . . . Does anybody want to question it?" Alice slides a pocket mirror across the table. The Boss says, "I think I see Ted's eyes in the mirror." Dilbert says, "Good one, Alice!" Ted gasps.
Dogbert stands on the desk chair. He says, "The e-mail votes have been tabulated. The will of the people is that Ratbert shall be spared from getting whacked with a magazine." Dilbert says to Ratbert, "I guess there's nothing funny about random cruelty." Bob the Dinosaur gives Dilbert a wedgie and says, "Right! Cruelty is only funny if administered in a proper social context."
Wally: what shall we tell the guy from marketing this time?
Dilbert: hee hee
Let's see if we can make him feel a sense of helpless desperation and fear. The time -division multiplexer opened a hole in the fabric of space.
Wally: we're trapped in this meeting forever.
The Boss: Susan, I want you to make some budget cuts throughout my department.
Susan: But Im only the budget analyst.
I couldn't understand all the engineering projects enough to make intelligent choices.
The Boss: Really? Great! I thought it was just me!
Susan: Shall I whomp up a strategy while Im at it?
