   Dilbert is wrong. There has to be a limit on the field size of the budget numbers which then makes any inaccurate budget numbers they can enter finite.

   Scott, how about an arc where the boss gets really smart and considerate, revenues go up, employees are happy, the engineers find girlfriends, and so on—until the boom drops!

   The head of the giraffe only drops a few inches and the front legs are just barely touching the ground. Look at minute 1:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ZGDK-uQAs

   Should we believe Mr. Graziano, or Wikipedia? Not sure. But the Jack Daniel story is questionable. From Wikipedia: Daniel died from blood poisoning in Lynchburg on October 9, 1911.1 An oft-told tall tale is that the infection began in one of his toes, which Daniel injured one morning at work by kicking his safe in anger when he could not get it open (he was said to always have had trouble remembering the combination).9 However, Daniel’s modern biographer has asserted that the story is not true, offering evidence that Daniel raged on the safe a few years before dying of unrelated gangrene.12

   Hey, look at that – people still remember me! Thanks guys! Russell alerted me to the fact that I was mentioned here. I would love to be the new writer, of course I would start right in with my “Alley meets the Glarbs!” story. But there’s pretty much no chance. The Benders have the strip locked up and won’t even talk to me. I even paid $1 to send an email directly to Carol. She never replied. Too bad. One adventure I would have, maybe the first one, is Alley Oop meets Donald Trump! That would be fun!

   Instead of having Dinny take his family to a safe place, far away I presume, wouldn’t it make more sense to have Dinny fight Lem? I think one irate Dinny could take on all of them.

   How did Dilbert get to be a foot taller than the boss?

   Corrigan is doing everything he can but things have gone too far and he just cannot reach Godzilla’s mind. NOT FOOD, NOT FOOD, DON’T EAT – he screams out his desperate mental images! Godzilla will have none of that. “Faster, faster!!” Alley screams at his dolphin friends while water skiing on his bare feet!! But the dolphins are already doing everything they can. Sheldon the terrified, wrapped around Alley’s neck, peeks out and sees death only moments away. If only Alley could dodge that gaping mouth - here it comes!!! Sheldon taps Alley on the right side of the neck hoping to be understood. WHAM!! Godzilla chomps down just as Alley skirts to the right - he understood!!

    Somehow Alley knew what that tap meant and he swings wide to the right denying Godzilla of his tasty snack.  Godzilla has descended thinking he had a meal in his jaws.“What, no meat?” the fish thinks as it tastes only water. “How did that happen?”He ascends to the surface and spots Alley a short distance away.“Oh, there’s my meal over there!” and he roars after them, this time approaching from the right. Sheldon, overwhelmed with terror, sees it coming back for a second try. The giant mouth opens again. It’s almost on them. He can see the remains of Glarbs in its spiked teeth! Godzilla lunges forward and chomps just as Sheldon taps Alley on the left! This time its jaws snap shut so close to Alley, as he darts to the left, that Sheldon feels the wind from its chomping mouth! And again Godzilla submerges without its meal. Godzilla angrily ascends and chases after them! What a fantastic scenario is taking place!A tap on the right and Alley swings to the right as the action repeats itself!A tap on the left and Alley darts to the left as its gaping maw is once more robbed of its prize! It’s an unbelievable and astonishing scene going on, but really, how long can the fish keep missing? Not any longer. Godzilla descends deep into the sea. For a moment, all is quiet. “Where is it, Sheldon?” Alley shouts. He’s not getting any taps. Godzilla has descended a hundred feet down and is now on its way up – right below them! “Sheldon – where is it?!!” I have no idea, thinks the terrified Tribble. Like a rocket blasting off, the giant fish once again opens its jaws and heads up and up towards its prey. And there they are! Only ten feet above and there’s no escape this time!!  Rocketing up from below it’s impossible for our friends to know where Godzilla went. With its fantastically huge mouth wide open the monstrous Godzilla fish makes a final lunge and eats Alley and Sheldon in one gulp!!! The tow line snaps and the two lead dolphins take off! Relieved of Alley’s weight the dolphins can now outrun Godzilla, but it’s too late for our friends, as they swish down the ugly, stinking mouth of their predator!

    Here is the last posting of this story. Anybody who wants to read it to its conclusion can email me at larrythorowitz@yahoo.com. I’m just not comfortable giving it away so publicly and I also think some of the commentors have a point, meaning, there are other sites more appropriate for fanfiction. Nighty feels differently and I respect his opinion as well. To each his own.So anyway, here we go! It’s a long posting today, but it’s very exciting and it’s the last one to be posted here at the Bender’s site. Yes, I have received quite a few requests at my email mentioned above and you guys will all continue getting the daily postings!
