"Hey, Steve, what's that thing moving around on your lawn?"
"Oh, that's my Lawnba."
"Lawnba?"
"Yeah, it's like a Roomba, you know, one of those self-propelled robotic vacuum cleaners. The Lawnba is like that, except it's for your lawn."
"Are you comfortable with that?"
"With what?"
"Well, with giving a robot something dangerous like sharp blades. Sure, a robot vacuum might not be all that dangerous, but what happens when the robots rebel and your Lawnba uses its sharp blades on you instead of the grass?"
"That's what a sledgehammer is for, Bob."
"Yeah. Before you gave it to the Sledgebot!"
Well, Something about this seems remarkably familiar. At least the conversation didn't go to waste. =)
