Weird how you want someone to beg for theather.

Mr. Pembrook sure is a tough man to please.

He hasn’t said anything about washing his car… yet.

How long would it take to make Nikes shiny?

With a boss like that, he might want to try using molten silver on them, I’ll bet that would make them shiny!

And while your under the desk. Check to make sure my kid didn’t leave his gum under there.

Wow, that’s pitiful. It might be funny if Roger was in his twenties, but for a man approaching middle age, that is sad.

No wonder he quit his job. I don’t suppose he could apply for a better one?

Okay now I get it. Roger should have found another job before he quit this one. Now I know why he acts like he does. A man with no dignity might as well be dead.

What shoe shine kit? I thought he had to lick them.

Applying elsewhere would have been better. But I get Amend had to return to the status quo.

Homer Simpson went back the power plant to get his job back. The receptionist asks if he’s here to apply for a job, pointing to a large door with “Applicants” written over it. Homer says he’s here to get his job back, she points to a small opening you need to crawl through marked “Supplicants.”

Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride…..

I like Roger’s tie tying method, but nobody beats Dilbert in that category.

“How is the grease trap?”

Get off your knees, Roger. I’ll kick in a few bucks until something comes along. And stick his shoeshine kit where the Sun don’t shine.

I missed you shining my shoes

I guess a raise is out of the question.
