ur explanation about the cartoon is confusing. Its not the blonde guy who is saying he hates the job, it is the dog who is saying it to him, so it is not his opinion in the first place, he disagrees with the dog straight away by saying "thats absurd i must work here for some reason." but i get what you trying to say.. just a bad example
