How to Assign Blame
This week, instead of just mentioning the Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada), I’m going to point out a product I use almost every day that can be purchased at Amazon.com.
The Platypus Soft Bottle
It’s a refillable water bottle that can be rolled up and stowed in almost no space. When it’s full it can stand on its base. I’ve owned one for well over a year. I use it many times a week and it still looks brand new. Either you’re wondering why someone would want such a thing, or you’re already ordering one.

If Scott is in a forest and Mullet Boss is not around, did he still screw up?
This is hands-down my favorite BI ever. Just builds from panel to panel on Mullet Boss's "qualities and "logic."
You would think being an idiot was the prime requirement for working for mullet-boss.
Ah, this comic still makes me laugh out loud more than any other :)
I hate bosses like this -_- If I screwed up, for god's sake, tell me what I did wrong, or I'll keep doing it. Happily.
Mullet Boss' leadership continues to inspire.

A minor variation on the paradox "If a man is talking alone in a forest and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong?"
(tougher than it sounds, since the wrongness of a statement can only be assigned by a woman hearing it and declaring it so)
I've had this conversation before. Well, the first 2 panels. Hilarious from the 3rd-person.
Okay, so I have to admit that I almost never read the introductory sentence in each panel. I find them disruptive. But if they weren't there, my brain wouldn't process the comic correctly—it's the visual equivalent of a "beat" in a joke. I'm not sure why I'm telling you this...
Blimey! Only one comment and it's after 6.30 pm.
Scott - are you severely backlogged with comments to moderate, or have they all been so risqué that you couldn't publish them?
This comic basically describes everything that is wrong with my workplace in a nutshell. Yes, sometimes life imitates comedy a little too closely...
Oh cool water bottle, I want three so I can juggle them.
I once was told I would be fired if I did X again although I was not permitted to know what X was. Heated discussion ensued followed by cursing. Turns out, somebody uninvolved objected to X. Idiots.
Scott,
I think you got the next NYT business best seller:
