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 up to Tommy and slapped him.

"Son, this robot is a lie detector; now tell us where you really went after school." "We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie."
"What did you watch?" asked Marsha. "The Ten Commandments." answered Tommy.

The Robot went around to Tommy and slapped him again, even harder than before.

With lip quivering, Tommy finally recovered 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 right hook that nearly knocked him out of his chair.

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

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