One day John came home with an unusual purchase. 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. 'Why are you late? Where have you been?' asked his mum, Katie., Tommy answered, 'Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project.' The robot then walked up to Tommy and slapped him.,

'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 Katie. 'The Ten Commandments.' answered Tommy. Again robot went around to Tommy and slapped him.

With his lips 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.

Katie doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, 'Boy, did you ever ask for that one! But You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!' With that the robot immediately walked around to Katie and whacked her out of her chair!!
