Episode Summary

Because they've come under scrutiny for unethical business practices, the company sends the employees for mandatory ethics training. Of course, the major ethics violators, management doesn't have to attend. Instead they are out deciding who is going to get the next major contract. The Pointy-Haired Boss agrees to take the "Internet Voting Network" contract and Dilbert is made the project lead. Of course such a voting system could easily be violated, so when the special interests groups find out that Dilbert can't be bought with money, they hire an alternative that just might work, a woman. Dilbert faces the ethical dilemma of selling out his integrity for the chance that he might get together with a real woman. Searching for an ethical answer to this dilemma, Dilbert (via the Garbage Man) consults Ben Franklin. He sticks to his principals and the election is held, although some kid hackers get Harry Ass McGee on the ballot. The results of the election are meaningless anyway, as the Secret Ruling Class (of which Dogbert and Ben Franklin are members) still decide the result of the election. 'moreless

      • Dilbert: We have this new thing called the Internet. Ben Franklin: Internet, yes yes, a global telecommunications network built on the TCPIP standard. Saw it coming. Dilbert: You did not. Ben Franklin: Yes, I did. Dilbert: How could you? Ben Franklin: I'm a founding father you little punk! You wanna start with me?!! Edit
      • Ben Franklin: Can anyone give me an update on my inventions? Dilbert: Well, electricity is doing fine. Ben Franklin: Hah that was a good one. How about the post office? Did it become the model of efficiency I envisioned? Dilbert: Well to be honest, a stamp costs more than you paid for your first horse, you can stand in line for an hour then find out that you're in the wrong line, the expression going postal refers to someone losing their mind, going crazy and opening fire on large groups of innocent people. (Ben Franklin has a heart attack and dies) Garbage Man: Nice work. Dilbert: I killed Ben Franklin. Edit
      • (Garbage Man pulls out Ben Franklin's coffin) Dilbert: How did you get Ben Franklin's body? Garbage Man: You'll be surprised at what people throw out Dilbert: It's a little too late for him to help us. Garbage Man: (Brings out bottle of green liquid) Maybe not, I saw this in an info-commercial once, I've been dying to try it. (Pours liquid down Ben Franklin's throat and revives him) Garbage Man. It says it removes carpet stains too but I have my doubts. Edit
