This is a link to Pearls Before Swine, a strip by Stephen Pastis.

http://www.comics.com/​comics/pearls/ (external link)

It is so true, so true....

If you don't get there today (8 May), then click on the "Last 30 Days" button and the the "May 08" link.

But then, who knows what tomorrow will bring...

Very true! -- I normally hate that comic, but this is very good.

That pretty much sums it up for about 80% of the populace.

I think that strip is one of the worst in the papers anymore. However when I saw it at work today it remeinded me of myself and a coworker. My coworker would be the guy that just pushes to doohickey.

Be nice. Teach him how to push the doohickey halfway to autofocus.

And I agree. The comics ain't what they used to be. Haven't been the same since Dagwood charged Mr. Dithers with assault for all that literal butt-kicking.

Pearls had a comic a few months ago that I really liked - it was about people who leave REALLY SLOW voice messages, but then spurt their phone number off really quick... That is hanging up on my desk.

The answer to that problem is simple. Ignore any such mesage.

If the message is not completely clear in one listening, it is guaranteed that I will ignore it. Hell, I ignore most of the clear ones, I'm certainly not going to strain my very limited resources for unclear ones.

If your last name is "Free" (first name "Toll") don't even bother calling. You will be ignored.

I got him to buy an XT and two lense, plus sold him a lens of mine, and am working with him. He told me the comic was just like the way we talk, I get all technical and he just wants to push the button.
