John was an easy target for any kind of strange gadget, and his wife Marsha had long given up on trying to get him to stop. One day, he came home with his latest purchase: a robot he swore could actually detect lies.
Around 5:30 that evening, their 11-year-old son, Tommy, got home from school, over two hours late.
“Where have you been?” John asked. “Why are you over two hours late?”
Tommy said, “Oh, a bunch of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project.”
The robot immediately walked over and slapped Tommy, knocking him out of his chair.
“Son,” said John, “this robot can tell when you’re lying. Now, where were you really?”
Tommy sighed. “Okay, fine. We went to Bobby’s house and watched a movie.”
“What movie?” asked Marsha.
“The Ten Commandments,” Tommy replied.
The robot walked over and slapped him again, harder this time.
With his lip trembling, Tommy finally admitted, “Alright, alright! We actually watched a tape called Sex Queen.”
John shook his head. “I’m so disappointed in you, son. When I was your age, I never lied to my parents.”
The robot immediately walked over and gave John a slap that nearly knocked him out of his chair.
Marsha burst into laughter, tears in her eyes. “Oh, John, you had that one coming! Besides, Tommy is your son!”
And with that, the robot turned to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair, too.
