       Asok, The Boss, and Dilbert are sitting next to each other at a
       meeting. Asok       raises his hand excitedly and says, "Ooh! Ooh! I
       know how to solve that       problem!" The Boss replies, "Not so fast,
       Asok."   Asok looks sullen as the Boss continues, "This isn't the
       solution meeting. This is       the process meeting."   The Boss
       continues, "Our goal is to develop a process for generating ideas to  
           solve the problem."   Wally turns to Asok and The Boss and says,
       "We don't know how to develop       processes. Someone should have a
       meeting about that."   Wally continues, "Someone like... a
       cross-disciplinary SWAT team in an offsite       lockup meeting."  
       The Boss says, "Hmm.. good idea." He then looks at Dilbert from the
       corner of       his eye and finishes, "I guess this meeting is over." 
        Wally continues to talk to Asok as they're walking out of the
       meeting. He says,       "You see, Asok. You can only thwart a meeting
       by inventing other meetings to       act as a firewall."   The Boss
       approaches Asok at his desk and says, "Asok, I'm putting you on a     
        cross-disciplinary SWAT team."
