Dilbert Dilemna

A buddy of mine called me this morning.

“Hey – been to the Dilbert blog website before?”

“Yeah. Probably. Well. I’m subscribed so I’d have to go there at least once to get the RSS feed.”

Long pause.

“What’s up?”

“Well. Have you been there lately?”

“Uh….no.”

“Well…”

This was the second “well” which never goes well in a conversation. Ever notice that? If someone starts using the word “well” that is a clear indication that all is NOT well. Doesn’t mean there is going to be a knock-down drag out, but it does mean that something somewhere is not….well, well.

“Well….the blog is funny but on the right side of the blog…………..I mean, she is wearing SOME clothes so that’s a good thing. But I’m having a hard time understanding the ‘sometimes it’s nice to be naughty’ phrase.”

My buddy is a master of sarcasm so at this point, I’m laughing pretty hard. But I immediately recognize the dilemna.

Do I remove the link for the sake of stumbling block, yadda, yadda, yadda OR do I keep it up there for the sake of honesty?

I mean I’m still going to read his blog. He’s funny. He doesn’t believe in God. Asks great questions about religion and Christianity. Makes fun of everything and everyone. He makes me think about the words I use to describe Jesus and tell his story. I think he’s helping me be a better communicator.

I don’t know. It’s a toss-up. I really don’t have an opinion on the matter. What do ya’ll think?
