Dilbert Quotes

by John Herrell on 26. March 2012 08:05

Technical people respond to questions in three ways:

  1. It is technically impossible (meaning: I don't feel like doing it);
  2. It depends (meaning: abandon all hope of a useful answer);
  3. The data bits are flexed through a collectimizer which strips the flow-gate arrays into virtual message elements (meaning: I don't know).

Dilbert Quotes

I haven't had many posts in the past few weeks, so I decided to post up some favorites from Dilbert today! Enjoy!

Dogbert's Group IQ Formula
The Intelligence Quotient of any meeting can be determined by starting with 100 and subtracting 5 points for each participant.

"Alpha Geek - The most knowledgeable, technically proficient person in an office or work group. "

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

Dogbert's Laughter Guide
The amount of energy spent laughing at a joke should be directly proportional to the hierarchial status of the joke.

And my favorite: "I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem. "

  1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

  4. There is great need for a sarcasm font. 
  5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
  6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
  7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
  8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
  9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
  10. Bad decisions make good stories.
  11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
  12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
  13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
  14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
  15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
  16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

  18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
  19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
  20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
  21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever..
  22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
  23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
  24. People who forward e- mail without deleting the tons of previous recipients should be shot and then tarred and feathered.
  25. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. Ladies quit laughing!

About John

What can I say? I am a geek and more. I write software for a living, can't get too much geekier I guess.  I love to be a geek but I am also somewhat of a greaser. I love cars, trucks, and motorcycles, chassis fabrication, bodywork, and painting.

Some folks don't think the combination of geek, mechanically inclined, and artistically inclined blend well together, but that is who I am. If I was wired any differently, I wouldn't think the way I do, and be able to perform the type of work I do day-to-day. If I am not at work, I am either working out or working on something automotive or motorcycle related.

This blog does not focus any any particular aspect of my life.  You never know what I'll post, but I will try to keep it interesting.more to come later...
