My brain is full. (I am out of memory).








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.
