Official transcript

Dilbert works on a computer with a screwdriver. A stupid looking man offers Dilbert a piece of wood with a nail in it. The dumb man says, "I didn't know how to design a power supply, so I put a nail in a piece of wood."

The man says, "I'm on vacation tomorrow, so I'll give you my files in case you need to make changes."

Dilbert holds the wood and looks mad. The stupid man says, "Once I had he idea, it all came together pretty quickly."
