Dogbert hands the man a thermometer and continues, "We use hourly body temperature readings to identify and avoid the troughs."

As the man leans back in his chair and waves his arms, Dogbert writes, "One o'clock. We have encountered a severe trough. I fear it could be the dreaded 'El Nino' trough."
