Boss: I think it is important for every employee to understand our company's income statement. I don't have time to get into all of the details, so I'll hit the high points. Compared to last year... our ebida have been amortized over an accrued market discount. Meanwhile, our capital account liabilities have a pass-through income that is far larger than our on-time costs. And the mome raths outgrabe. Too far? Dilbert: I wasn't listening.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE TO UNDERSTAND OUR COMPANY'S INCOME STATEMENT.

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET INTO ALL OF THE DETAILS, SO I'LL HIT THE HIGH POINTS.

COMPARED TO LAST YEAR...

OUR EBIDA HAVE BEEN AMORTIZED OVER AN ACCRUED MARKET DISCOUNT.

MEANWHILE, OUR CAPITAL ACCOUNT LIABILITIES HAVE A PASS-THROUGH INCOME THAT IS FAR LARGER THAN OUR ONETIME COSTS.

AND THE MOME RATHS OUTGRABE.

TOO FAR?

I WASN'T LISTENING.
