       THE CALL CENTER:  A worker sits in front of a computer wearing a
       telephone headset. A woman supervisor says to him, "Carl, reduce your
       average call time or you're history."   Dilbert holds a portable
       telephone in his hand and presses buttons to dial a number to the
       sound of "Beep beep beep beep."   Carl answers the phone angrily,
       saying, "What?!"   Dilbert says into his telephone, "I have a question
       about your product."   Carl yells into the telephone, "Faster! Faster!
       Faster!"   Dilbert says into his telephone, "Um... It's about the
       interface." Dilbert hears Carl say, "Great. Thanks." There is the
       sound "click."   Carl's supervisor says to him, "Your average call
       time is way down. You get a bonus."   Carl holds his bonus check and
       thinks to himself, "Maybe it's a mistake to do this job while I study
       for the priesthood."
