Dilbert - The Knack

"The Knack" = un don pour faire des choses "tour de main"




- I'm worried about little Dilbert. He's not like other kids

- What do you mean?


- Yesterday I left him alone for a minute and he disassembled the TV,
       our clock and the stereo.

- That's perfectly normal, kids take things apart

- The part that worries me is he used the components to make a ham radio

- Oh dear.

- Is that bad?

- Normally I'd want to run an EEG on him but the machine isn't working...
       It's worse than I feared.

- What is it?

- I'm afraid your son has the Knack

- The Knack?

- The Knack. It's a rare condition characterised by an extreme intuition about all       things mechanical and electrical, and other social       ineptitude

- Can he lead a normal life?

- No, he'll be an engineer

- (sobs)

- There, there...
