Dwight vs. Andy - The Office

What an episode. Despite the fact that they put a lot of the funny clips out as previews I wasn't expecting near as much to happen in one episode. The cold open was not nearly as funny the second time - though "Long Tim" is still funny.

A few lessons to take away from the episode:
1. Even people who don't like each other can make a good team.
Dwight and Jim made a great salesteam :) (great moments throughout the whole sales call - Dwight sitting in back, getting pumped up, being slapped, the whole "on hold" scene)
2. You need to know your customer.
Phylis and Karen getting the "makeover." And on the negative side - Stanley letting Ryan handle his sales call.
3. When you are talking to someone, its not about you.
Andy trying to one-up the fishing stories.
4. Some things are more important than a job.
Dwight putting his relationship with Angela first.
5. Sometimes life is just funny.
Ryan. Stanley. Jim. Dwight. :)

I must say, I was a little off about the Stanley clip. But Ryan asking to handle it makes it even worse because Stanley did nothing to help prepare him.

ps. I'm hoping for some Dwight on the beet farm footage now.
