Mr. Veeblefester: Do you have a plan for how to tackle retooling the factory, Thornapple?
Brutus: Well, Chief, I am a firm believer in the strategy of taking first things first...
Brutus: But not necessarily in that order!
Sometimes the best thing is a very short response. Brutus should just have said ‘yep’ and waited for his boss to ask for details. Of course, that wouldn’t have been funny, assuming that a guy making a fool of himself is funny. (Not so much, to me….)
