Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 04, 2008
Transcript:
Earl: How'd it go with Jilly? Duke: Not so good. Turns out she was attached to her job. Earl: So am I, but if we don't start pumping up the billables, we're all going to be following her out the door! In the meantime, you can share my secretary. Hold on... hey, Carol? Would you come in here, please? Carol? Hello? Janet? Matt? Anyone out there? Duke: Oh, I had to fire the whole pool. They were become hysterical.

Gweedo Murray, reminds me of the jokes about Czechoslovakia 40+ years ago, like:
Comrade 1: If they open the borders, will you stay here?
Comrade 2: No, why should I stay here all alone?
And: last one out, turn out the lights.

Gweedo, I was working on the new avatar, but I couldn’t get the site to accept the thing. So, my tongue was definitely heading for my cheek.
By the way, I was quite proud of getting the spelling of Czechoslovakia right on only the second try.

Drtoon, Margueritem et. al. re yesterday-sorry about the confusion. I have never claimed to be a Vietnam veteran, having too much respect for them. I served from 1978-1982 as a Vietnamese linguist. Yes, we sere still spying on them then. You were correct, I am 50. Hope this clears it up. God Bless!

They cut my division by 1/3 at a Fortune 500 company just before Thanksgiving. Last year the CEO was talking about needing more office space;this year we are walking by empty desks

Blame on him for firing all of those employees at his company. His son could not get hold of someone out there.

Hey Gweedo - don’t get personal. I am very good looking…just not photogenic.
