Brevity is one of those strips that seems to try a pun every time. But if we get too used to it, we may not notice when a pretty good one slips by.
We were about to cavil that the “k” was the same thing in both cases … but it really isn’t.
Therapeutic notes from Andréa!
Comics I Don't Understand 
Well, yes, the 401(k) plans are referred to that way because that was the numbered / letter-keyed paragraph or section of a statute. But as used in the comic, it does look like a number, and would perhaps offer 100 times the resolution of the 4k model.
The first one reminded me of the old Dad joke: “I asked my friend if he wanted to go hunting, and he said ‘I’m game’ so I shot him.”
Padraig’s joke is better than the comic
I’d like to see a tv with 401 factorial resolution.
I agree with DB – LD. The game should say “I’m A game,” not “I’m game,” but then the joke doesn’t work. Maybe in the follow-up the boss can say “I need everyone to bring their ‘A game’ to the project” and the game can say “That’s me!”
I wouldn’t want to share an office with that particular game. He always does you-know-what with the conversation.
The employee is monopolizing the meeting again.
Grawlix, looks like you found the secret word from MarkInBoston’s quip! 🙂
Recycling a joke from late 2008: “My 401k is now a 201k.”
Yeah, well in 2008 it wasn’t a joke.
