Ode to Dilbert

I don't know copyright law, and that seems like a lot to research on a Friday. So all of the comics I have posted on my cubicle wall will stay there instead of working their way to this virtual wall on the blog. But I have to say that on a regular, frequent, nearly daily basis, the writers of Dilbert make me giggle. Some days its a guffaw. Some days its a belly laugh. I've chuckled. I've laughed so hard I've cried. I think it is because I recognize in them the same sarcastic sense of humor that resides deep in my soul.

Here are some of the lines that make me giggle every time I read them. Context is everything, but these are funny on their own.

  • Tell the spiders living in your skull that we'll look into it.
  • I wonder what it's like to have squirells living in your brain?
  • You sound like an asthmatic rhinocerous rampaging a cracker festival.
  • Attention all employees. The stain is on the move. I repeat, the stain is on the move!
  • Would you say you worship satan or do you simply respect his no-nonsense approach to discipline?
  • Ow! Ow! It's so boring, it hurts my head! My brain is trying to escape through my ear!
  • One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough [Dr. Pepper].
  • I just lost a good glue stick, but I gained a few hours of quiet.
  • I no longer worry about life passing too quickly.
