Pointy Haired Boss: Well, there's no point in killing a dead horse.
Dilbert: You mean there's no point in beating a dead horse.
Pointy Haired Boss: Why would anyone beat a dead horse?
Dilbert: Why would anyone kill a dead horse?
Pointy Haired Boss: Maybe it kicked you.
Dilbert: (exasperated) It's already dead.
Pointy Haired Boss: And so is every customer who used our flagship product.
 
Dilbert: (thinking of new name for product) How about Sisyphus, the the guy who pushed a rock up a hill for eternity?
Pointy-haired Boss: It could convey a sense of playfulness...
Dilbert: (dumbstruck) It's supposed to convey a sense of futility!
Pointy-haired Boss: You have to look at it from the rock's point of view.
 
Pointy-Haired Boss' Boss: Salmonella. (pauses) I like it. By this time next year I want every person in the country driving a Salmonella.
Dilbert: It's not necessarily a car.
Pointy-Haired Boss' Boss: It's not? Then why are we giving it a car name.
 
Dogbert: (points to Dilbert) How about Salmonella in honor of rooster boy here?
 
Dogbert: There's still plenty of names left in the areas of Greek mythology, bodily secretions, diseases, and everything involving intestines.
 
Wally: The herbal throat lozenges?
