For anybody who has never heard of them, Dilbert and Dogbert are characters created by American cartoonist Scott Adams. Cartoons featuring Dilbert and his friends can be found at http::/www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert. One of my favourite cartoons, which features time, goes like this:

Dogbert: Do you see "Time" as a sequence of discrete events or simply a line of perception through infinite possibilities?

Dilbert: I see "Time" as more of a magazine.

Dogbert: You know these moments we have together - we really must have them less often!

Dilbert: Ask me about "Life".

It does, a little, but I think Dilbert's referring to another publication as the tone is definitely tongue-in-cheek.
