   Ha ha ha, Today our Latin American Manager is coming to our facilities to tell us exactly the same thing, everybody is running like crazy and fancy looking, madness because of an old lady with a lot of free time, ha ha.

   It’s true, they’ve done studies showing people will lower their electricity usage when rewarded only by a smiley-face on their (presumably lower) bill…or ask any “hyper-milers” if they do it just to save gas.
   And you house-train dogs using much the same technique as Prod, actually.

   @ Heidi: 79% of statistics are made up on the spot.

   I feel that this cartoon is telling me something… if I tell you that you do a great job, does that mean I don’t have to give you any money when I finally decide to buy some mugs on cafepress?

   Great job, team!
