Yesterday’s Dilbert cartoon has the following dialogue:
"Pointy Haired Boss: Why aren’t you working?
Alice: My brain is full.
Pointy Haired Boss: I’ll check back later.
Alice: I won’t remember you."
I don’t think Scott Adams realized he was recycling a
well-known punch line from a classic Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson which had been:
“Mr. Osborne, may I be excused? My brain is full.”
He might have been inspired by having seen an out of memory
message on a computer. Back on June 21, 2008 I had blogged about how He ought to be
good, he’s using my act.
