Dilbert wears a suit and holds a briefcase. He says, "Wish me luck,
Dogbert." Dogbert asks, "If you get more luck, wouldn't there be less
luck available for me?" A woman at a desk looks at Dilbert's
application and says, "For 'desired salary' you wrote 'one million
dollars.'" Dilbert says, "Yes, thanks for asking." The woman says,
"Perhaps the question is misleading. The application should have
asked what salary you EXPECT." Dilbert replies, "Oh . . . Well, I
expect you'll hire somebody more qualified and my salary will remain
unchanged." The woman says, "No, too honest. I'm looking for
something CLOSE to reality, with maybe twenty-percent fantasy layered
on top." Dilbert replies, "Okay . . . I'd like a fifteen-percent
raise and a little shoulder massage." Back at home, Dilbert asks
Dogbert, "Why does it seem that I'm the only honest guy on earth?"
Dogbert replies, "Your type tends not to reproduce."
