       Dogbert sits across from the Boss's desk.  The Boss says, "Why should
       I hire you as my consultant?"   Dogbert replies, "I'll use my special
       process of cognitive dissonance to improve employee morale."   The
       Boss asks, "How does it work?"   Dogbert explains, "When people are in
       an absurd situation, their minds rationalize it by inventing a
       comfortable illusion."  The Boss says, "Okay, go do it."   Dogbert
       asks an employee, "Isn't it strange that you have this dead end job
       when you're twice as smart as your boss?"   Dogbert continues, "The
       hours are long, the pay is mediocre, nobody respects your
       contributions, and yet you freely choose to work here."  The man looks
       upset.   The man says, "It's absurd!  No, wait . . . There must be a
       reason . . . I must work here because I LOVE the work."   The man sits
       at his desk humming and thinking, "I love this job."  Dogbert says,
       "Next!"
