| Boss: Negotiate with your vendor and get the price down. Dilbert: I
don't know how to negotiate. I'm an engineer. Boss: It's simple. All
you need to do is make an aggressive first demand and settle for less.
Dilbert: How aggressive are we talking about here? Boss: The more
aggressive the better. Dilbert: That doesn't sound right. Boss: Trust
me. More is better. Dilbert: My opening demand is that you name me as
a beneficiary on your life insurance police, mow my lawn, and die in
traffic on the way home. Boss: You got the price down by 35 percent.
Dilbert: I really hoped it wouldn't work.
