Maybe a new t-shirt is due to come on the market.

The blonde one doesn’t have the AI, so it’s a little cheaper.

“She can't vacuum, she can't cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean,”
So, they used my ex-wife for the template?
“She's a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to you."
Oh wait, never mind.

Great. All the future technology geeks will hook up with her instead of finally getting married.
After three generations, we won’t have anybody left who knows how to fix anything except for her.

Two points here...
Why is it incumbent upon men to put the seat down...why don't women share equal responsibility to put it up?
And more importantly...if they'd like, we could just leave it down and p!ss all over it...would they prefer that?

No... trust me, I’ve tried it and 100% of the survey sample did NOT prefer it. (N=1, margin of error zero)

She is wirelessly linked to the internet for software updates, technical support and to send her man email messages, he said
That is pretty fracked up right there.
Still, imagine if someone at CRU had had one of these.

this is not a problem in my house of boys... they were all taught during potty training to lift the seat when doing the deed, put the seat down and then the lid... flush... wash hands... the job was complete after they washed their hands... why most parents are just satisfied when their toddlers just pee in the toilet is beyond me... at least teach them the washing their hands step... i love that my boys are rough and tumblers with a touch of genteelity...

She can’t vacuum, she can’t cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean,” the New Jersey-based artificial intelligence engineer said.
I’m reminded of the words of that great American philosopher Rodney Dangerfield:
“Marry a woman who can cook. The sex will wear off but you’ll always be hungry.”
