John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind
of unusual gimmick.
His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him
to change.
One day John came home with another one of his unusual
purchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.
It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11
year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was
over 2 hours late.
"Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late
getting home?" asked John.
"Several of us went to the library to work on an extra
credit project," said Tommy.
The robot then walked around the table and slapped
Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.
"Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector. Now
tell us where you really were after school."
"We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie." said
Tommy.
"What did you watch?" asked Marsha.
"The Ten Commandments," answered Tommy.
The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped
him, knocking him off his chair once more.
With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen."
"I am ashamed of you son," said John. "When I was your
age, I never lied to my parents."
The robot then walked around to John and delivered a
whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair.
Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and
said, "Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!"
With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha
and knocked her out of her chair.
