       Asok is in the bosses office.  Asok says, "Did you call me here to
       punish me?"   The boss is sitting behind his desk.  The boss says,
       "No, no, Asok. I want you to manage our annual business plan process."
         Asok says, "How so I do that?"   The boss says, "First, you beg your
       co-workers for information about their budget needs."   With a
       close-up on Asok, the boss continues off-frame "Half of them will give
       you lies.  The other half will ignore you.  Thus underscoring your
       unimportance."   The boss continues, "Then you'll combine the lies and
       guesses into a worthless ball of data for senior management."   Asok
       faces the boss as the boss says, "Then our CEO will make budget
       decisions based on magazine articles."   Dilbert asks Asok, "How bad
       was the punishment?"  Asok says, "Worse than I expected."
