Subject:Dilbert and minvans (f)
Date:Fri, 17 Nov 1995 11:43:07 -0700

As I work in a software development team there seems to alot of "engineer
humor." Engineering humor sometimes is as exciting as a peanut butter
sandwich with a butter milk chaser is to a person with serious cotton mouth. 
The neighboring C++ guru handed out copies of the Dilbert cartoon the shows
the boss stating that "Our goal is the write bug-free software. I'll pay a
ten dollar bonus for every bug that you find and fix." Dilbert and the team
shouts "YAHOO, We're rich!, yes,yes,yes!" The boss says "I hope this drives
the right behavior." Dilbert's coworker says "I'm gonna write me a new
minivan this afternoon!"

I was going through a QA  routine of his work at that moment (a scarey
thought in it's self).  I therefore took the cartoon, crossed out the word
"minivan" scribbled "microbus" next to it and circled it in red and wrote
"QA" over it. I put it back in his mail box for his review... Being known as
the resident VW "freak," he got the point. He knows how much I like the
boring minivans with "Baby on board" signs. =)

HoHum, next?
