Recently I saw a strip with Dilbert and the Pointy Haired Boss and I
can't remember where. The strip went something like this:

Dilbert: "I've got an Idea, why don't we put a battery backup in our
product?"

(pause)

Pointy Haired Boss: "I've got an Idea, why don't we put a battery
backup in our product?"

Dilbert: "Because it doesn't use electricity."

Does anyone recogniae this strip, and more importantly, can you point
me to where I could find it?

Just as funny today as it was nearly 16 years ago. 4 days short of 16 years ago, actually:
