Excess Body Parts

Don D

Is anyone following the comic strip where the guy has decided that in order to miss work, he is going to go through a series of operations to have unneeded body parts removed. He opines that his employer will have to let him off for these surgeries(FMLA I assume) and he's having things removed. He returned today saying he had just had his coccyx removed since he concluded he didn't need it. It's funnier in the paper, obviously, than I have portrayed here. Look for it.

What is the name of the comic strip, Don?

It's the Dilbert strip. Wally is the guy getting the various surgeries. Too funny! This is the same strip that has Catbert - the Evil HR Director. Some very funny stuff.

I get the same strip every day via email. It makes me laugh fairly frequently. I had to look up coccyx, though. It's free . . . sign up at Dilbert.com

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-30-04 AT 07:21PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Yesterday, he asks the doctor is there is a price sheet for removin unnecessary body parts and says, "I wouldn't mind a few days away from work, being waited on, watching tv and napping." The doctor says, "You have an inflamed coccyx". He responds, "Yeah, it's gotta go."

Today picks up with a coworker asking, "Where were you last week". The employee says, "I had my coccyx removed. I'm having all of my unnecessary body parts removed so I can get time off from work." So the co-worker with the pointy tie asks, "How about the part of your brain that makes you care about others?" The answer, "It's on my list after tonsils".

And..........so goes the FMLA drama. Catch Dilbert.
