Dilbert 11/27

Huh? Is this some hot new office phrase? Or what?

The observation that you can’t get a little bit pregnant has been around for a while.

I’m familiar with that, but don’t understand what was the idea in an office setting. Was he supposed to somehow “screw” her?

Probably. The PHB might be trying to lock the client into some kind of proprietary product line, and getting her “a little bit pregnant” might be his way of telling Asok to pretend that it was possible to only buy certain parts of the product line instead of going in 100 percent. Or something like that.

A set-up strip would have benefited this joke immensely.

Well, if what you say is true, it would have benefited me, anyway.
