The girl I babysit has made me watch
Wall-E at least ten times, so I assumed
it was her favorite movie. Today, her
mom told me that she watches it because
she thinks it’s mine.

There’s this story about
a guy that was hanging
around the circus,
watching another guy
picking up elephant
dung and moving it
over into a pile. It was
hot and sweaty work,
but he’d go back and
pick up another pile,
then another pile.
Finally the first guy
said, “Man, why don’t
you get you a real job?”
And the elephant-
dung guy said, “What,
and quit show
business?”

I was in the emergency
room when a young
male nurse came in
to ask routine medical
questions.
Nurse: Have you ever
had a hysterectomy?

Me: Yes.
Nurse: When?
Me: 2011.
Nurse: Do you
think you could be
pregnant?
Me: Do you think
this is the right career
for you?

The boss is so allergic
to admitting an error
that soon he’ll claim
that he didn’t mis-
type thanks and that
htanks is a greeting in

THE
TAO OF
DILBERT

No one knows the
drudgery of office work
better than Scott Adams’s
comic strip star, who
turns 30 this year:
✦“Work is for losers.
A winner says ‘That’s
on my list’ and never
commits to a deadline.”
✦“Are you aware that
all jobs require you to do
things you’d rather not
do? That’s why they have
to pay you.”
✦“Managers are like
cats in a litter box. They
instinctively shuffle
things around to conceal
what they’ve done.”
