    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

      And the flaming "00"

      (in Germany "00" is shorthand for the toilets, for those who are unaware)
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Where I grew up the local bus service was called 'Potteries Motor Traction' or PMT for short - and yes the buss were bright red
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          Was the bus service unpredictable?

            On my last role, a new VP arrived. I was working in the PMO office, but he decided as there was also an IT PMO group and we worked in sales operations, he decided he wanted to rename it.

            He then said, he would name it the Field Automation Group. Yeah, you can imagine how many seconds it took us to shoot that down. We landed up with Business Automation Team (BAT) and then duly implemented a BATMAN, BATGIRL and the secretary the BATBIKE!

            You know what they say about assumptions!

                    (French Paras are CRAP).

                    In fact France is full of CRAP.
