Dilbert is at a party; he has an exoskeleton. He's holding a drink and talking to a woman. Dilbert says, "My medication makes me carefree and happy, but the side effect is an exoskeleton."

Dilbert continues, "Remember the old saying - 'Beauty is only skin deep.'"

He giggles, "Hee hee."

Dilbert continues, "But enough about me. I don't want to look shellfish."

The woman responds, "You had a chance until the pun."
