DNRC Newsletter

Occasionally, and self-admittedly never on a regular schedule, I get a DNRC newsletter from Scott Adams of Dilbert fame.

I always have several good laughs at the content and had to post a recent snippet:

Nomination for the Dogbert Award
================================

There’s no such thing as a Dogbert Award, but when I heard this story from a reader, I thought that maybe there should be.“I have a student whose vocabulary is rather impressive. He annoys his classmates by answering questions in such a way that they have no idea what he has just said. Finally one student had had enough and asked why his classmate couldn't say things so other people could understand him. Without missing a beat the student shot back "Because I don't speak retard!"

My immediate reaction was that the entire school year had been an elaborate set up for that punchline.
