Do not feed the squirrels
Must try this one on those people whose e-mails are routinely tagged 'Importance: High'.
I suppose it's subtler than replying with (paraphrasing!) "your priority is not necessarily mine".
[Update 01/08/07: Now I've discovered that Dilbert.com only archives strips for a month, I'd better provide a transcript for the longer term:]
Wally to Pointy-Haired Boss:
"All of your e-mails this week were marked as highest priority."
"So I spent the entire week working on the first one."
"Next week I plan to continue not feeding the squirrels by the east entrance."
[Update 07/05/08: The revamped Dilbert.com has a bigger archive, so I've amended the link; you can see the strip itself again.]
