Arthur, a seasoned traveling salesman who had spent more nights in generic hotel rooms than he cared to count, checked into the newly opened “NeoStay,” a hyper-modern, fully automated motel on the edge of town. After a long day on the road, he noticed his hair was looking a bit shaggy. He picked up the sleek, touch-screen room phone and called the front desk to ask if they had a barber on the premises.
“I’m afraid not, sir,” the robotic-but-polite desk clerk replied. “However, we do have a state-of-the-art grooming vending machine just down the hall on the second floor. It should be able to assist you.”
Intrigued and slightly skeptical, Arthur walked down the sterile, neon-lit hallway and found a row of futuristic, chrome-plated machines. The first one had a glowing sign that read: HAIRCUTS – $10.00.
Shrugging, Arthur figured he had nothing to lose. He slid a ten-dollar bill into the slot, opened the small, padded hatch, and cautiously stuck his head inside. The machine hummed to life. There was a symphony of soft whirring, gentle buzzing, and the faint sound of tiny, precise snips. Exactly fifteen seconds later, the hatch popped open. Arthur pulled his head out, looked in the hallway mirror, and was absolutely floored. It was, without a doubt, the most flawless, perfectly styled haircut of his entire life.
Energized by this miracle of modern engineering, he noticed the next machine in the row: MANICURES – $10.00.
“Why not?” he thought. He inserted another ten-dollar bill and slid his hands into the padded opening. Once again, there was a brief, high-tech whirring sound. Fifteen seconds later, he pulled his hands out to find his nails perfectly shaped, buffed, and immaculately groomed.
Amazed and feeling like a million bucks, Arthur’s eyes drifted to the third and final machine in the row. The glowing neon sign read: THIS MACHINE PROVIDES WHAT MEN NEED MOST WHEN AWAY FROM THEIR WIVES – $10.00.
Arthur’s heart skipped a beat. He glanced left, then right, ensuring the hallway was completely deserted. With a mischievous grin, he fed another ten-dollar bill into the slot, unzipped his fly, and eagerly guided his manhood into the machine’s opening.
The machine hummed to life. But this time, instead of a gentle buzz, there was a loud, aggressive mechanical whirring, followed by the sound of rapid, high-speed stitching. Arthur let out a muffled shriek of sheer panic, but he was momentarily locked in place!
Fifteen agonizing seconds later, the machine finally powered down with a cheerful *ding*. With trembling hands and a racing heart, Arthur carefully withdrew his manhood to inspect the “much-needed” service.
There, perfectly centered and neatly sewn with impeccable, high-quality thread, was a shiny brass button.
