Some of you cite your favorite strips. I will too.

Dilbert comes down to the caves where trolls (accountants) reside and gets a tour. The guide points to a troll sitting behind a desk, and mumbling in a stupor: "nine, nine, nine...".

Guide: And this is our random numbers generator.

Dilbert: Are you sure those are random?

Guide: That's the problem with randomness - you can never be sure.

And thank you, Scott - many laughs thanks to you.

I remember reading this one in the late nineties. Never been able to find it again. It was probably in one of his books:

------------

pointy haired boss making making a presentation: "research shows that customers want high-quality products at low-prices.

but we make low-quality products.

so we are going to sell them at high-prices and call it a strategy"

-------------

If anyone has a link to the original comic, please share it, I would like to see it again. It captures so many themes succinctly, and was very very astute for the late nineties when corps were doing crazy things and calling it a "strategy".
