    Dear Kona

    A "machine-like" approach to people
    In explaining his "courtship" process with Black, Farley sounds like he's outlining a sub-routine for a client-server program: "I had the right to ask her out. She had the right to refuse. When she did not refuse in a cordial way, I felt I had the right to bother her."

    In attempting to find a girlfriend, Dilbert proceeds by writing a long list of highly detailed specs, as if embarking on a particularly complicated engineering project. Also, Dilbert longs for the day when virtual reality (and thus, virtual crotch-surfing) is cheaper than dating actual women.

    cheers
