Quote of the Day (Scott Adams, on Beer and Snails)

“I noticed that the neighborhood snails were massing their forces near my garden and I needed to defend my territory. My friend with Midwestern roots assures me that I can solve this problem by putting a plate of beer in the garden. Apparently snails like beer, but it kills them. Interestingly, it's the only thing snails do quickly. I've been trying to kill myself with beer for decades. I am literally slower than a snail.”— Scott Adams, “Diary of a Cartoonist: Dilbert Creator Scott Adams,” The Wall Street Journal, May 3, 2014

Quote of the Day (Scott Adams, on How Real-Life Business Surpasses 'Dilbert')

"No matter how absurd I try to make the comic strip I can’t stay ahead of what people are actually experiencing in their own workplaces….A company purchased laptop computers for employees to use while traveling. Fearing they might be stolen, the managers came up with a clever solution: permanently attach the laptop computers to the employees' desks."—Scott Adams, The Dilbert Principle: A Cubicle's-Eye View of Bosses, Meetings, Management Fads and Other Workplace Afflictions (1996)
