John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of gimmicks. His wife Marsha had given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with ]a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.
It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 12 year old, returned home from school, over 2 hours late.
John asked "Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?" "Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project,"
The robot 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.
Mama asked "What did you watch?"
"The Ten Commandments,"
The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair. 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 walked around and knocked John him out of his chair.
Marsha was 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!"
The robot walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair.
