Official transcript

Dilbert: Once we have all of the vendors' bids, we will pick the best one. Man: Oh, great, so you're saying we should be exactly like serial killers? Dilbert: Uh... what? Man: Serial killers also choose their victims. Can't you see the warning flags here? You're basically promoting murder. Dilbert: That is literally the most ridiculous and unhelpful analogy of all time. I doubt you could come up with a worse analogy, no matter how hard you tried. Man: Hitler said something like that before invading Poland. Boss: Good point.

ONCE WE HAVE ALL OF THE VENDORS' BIDS, WE WILL PICK THE BEST ONE.

OH, GREAT. SO YOU'RE SAYING WE SHOULD BE EXACTLY LIKE SERIAL KILLERS?

UH...

WHAT?

SERIAL KILLERS ALSO CHOOSE THEIR VICTIMS.

CAN'T YOU SEE THE WARNING FLAGS HERE?

YOU'RE BASICALLY PROMOTING MURDER.

THAT IS LITERALLY THE MOST RIDICULOUS AND UNHELPFUL ANALOGY OF ALL TIME.

I DOUBT YOU COULD COME UP WITH A WORSE ANALOGY, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRIED.

GOOD POINT.
