Dogbert asks The Boss, "Do you have a plan for retaining the best employees?" The Boss says, "I whittle at their confidence until they believe no one else would ever hire them." Dogbert says, "Doesn't that make them sluggish?" The Boss says, "Yes, but if they're all sluggish, it looks right."
Woman says, "Maybe we could take a pottery class together." Dilbert says, "Sure. I love acquiring unattractive dishware in an expensive and inefficient way." Woman says, "It's called art." Dilbert says, "Maybe we could whittle some art spoons too."
Boss: The network will be down all day, but try to do what you can without it.
Dilbert: What can we do without it besides drink coffee, complain, and whittle?
Boss: No knives at work.
Dilbert: Hold off on the whittling.
