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 just 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?", they
asked. "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, this robot i
s a lie detector, now tell us where you went after school."
"We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie."

"What did you watch?" a sked Marsha. "'The Ten Commandments." answered Tommy.
The Robot went
around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair.

With lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied. We
really watched a
tape called Sex Queen."

"I'm 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 roundhouse right that nearly
knocked him out
of his chair.

Marsha was bent double laughing, almost in tears. "Boy, did you ever ask for
that one! And
you can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, He is your son!"



The Robot immediately walked around to Marsha, and slapped her three times.
