  • chickenbig, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2I saw a great cartoon awhile back with a guy glaring at his house cat. The caption was, "Don't you dare think outside the box!" So everytime I heard that irritating phrase, I just think of the cartoon.
  • OldWiseOne, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1"Think outside of the box" makes me want to jump out my office window; but, it is what it is.
