Instead of training the sexbots with those athletic miracle workers in the porno videos, I will make the sacrifice and train the sexbots myself. I will line up volunteers to help with that, then I teach the robots, and since I am nothing special in that department, it would be like having the Jedi Knights trained not by Obi Wan but rather by Jar Jar Binks. Then we mere mortals can still compete with the mechanical bastards.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We could do it that way and still make a ton of money: they wouldn’t be as good, but plenty of customers would buy two of them to fully satisfy her needs.
