Official transcript

Dilbert is sitting in his cubicle. A coworker approaches and says, "My vacation was great!"

The coworker continues, "The sunsets were beautiful. The food was amazing."

Dilbert turns and says, "Descriptions of your vacation serve no purpose."

Dilbert continues, "I can neither see the sunsets nor taste the food."

Dilbert continues, "It appears to be a selfish attempt to trigger happy memories for yourself at my expense.' The coworker responds, "Okay, buster! When my seven rolls of film get developed.."

She exclaims, "You're out of the loop!!!"

The coworker leaves and Dilbert whistles and thinks to himself, "That worked out better than I hoped."
