Comic Strip Title: "Honesty is the Best Policy"

Summary:

Dogbert asks Dilbert if he knows the worthless watchdog from his house, which Dilbert denies. Dogbert then asks him to meet Dawn and Bob, who will discuss honesty with him. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Dogbert reveals that honesty means never having to say "please don't flush me down the toilet."
