       The Boss asks Dilbert, "Can you explain why your project is behind
       schedule?"   Dilbert answers, "Yes. A schedule is an artificial device
       created without knowledge of the future."   Dilbert goes on to say,
       "Wild guesses are used as surrogates for knowledge."   Dilbert says to
       the Boss, "Project deadlines ae tied to trade show dates instead of
       reality."   Dilbert continues his explanation, "Then management cuts
       the budget until failure is assured."   Dilbert says to the Boss, "I
       assume you called me here so you can apologize for your role in all
       this."   The Boss sits in his chair looking puzzled and amazed.  
       Dilbert then asks the Boss, "Would you like to hear how budgets are
       created?"
