FASAA
Mike Berger, PhD
I purchased one of the new housekeeping
robots. I paid an exorbitant price. I have
to admit it was worth the money. I called it
FASAA (fully automated self actualizing
android). It kept the house spotlessly clean.
The only problem was with it’s high pitched
shrill mechanical voice. The voice came with
the package so there was no way to turn
it off. The voice programs in the machine were
programmed by a perverse genius.
It would see a speck of dust on the coffee
table and shout, “Danger, Danger!” In the
bathroom it would say, “I hate this dirty job.”
The ultimate came when it cried out, “Sorry
I don’t do Windows.”
