They were good until they weren’t.

Should we be having sex with robots? Be my guest. Anything that minimizes the chances of liberals reproducing is fine by me.
To: Bob434
should you have sex with your car? With your blender? With your washing machine? Definitely NOT your blender.

Reminds me of a LITTLE ANNIE FANNY cartoon from PLAYBOY about 45 years ago. I only read the articles and looked at the family style cartoons.

I already have. My first wife was very robotic in that department.

Both he and the pickle slicer were fired.
