Today at work (I have a different job now, not bad, but boring) I decided
that I needed a coffee mug that says "You don't have to be a braindead
invertibrate to work here, but it helps!"
This is not to imply that my "co-workers" are mindless sqooshy globs of
inbred retarded diarrhetic gorilla shit. I'm just saying that if the
previously described fecal matter WERE to show up for work one morning,
you'd be hard pressed to pick it out of the crowd.
During one especially boring task yesterday, I mentally did a
cost-anaylisys of collecting multiple paychecks without going to
work by training monkeys to do my job, vs. training dead monkeys to do my
job. Dead monkeys are a lot cheaper, but somewhat harder to train and
its hypothetically possible that they may decay to a point where
they
could no longer do my job. You may argue that necromantic ritual
materials are quite expensive compared to the cost of a live monkey, but
you'd have misunderstood. I said DEAD MONKEYS, not ZOMBIE MONKEYS.
Magically animating the monkeys would be wasteful, and they might
realize how boring the job is and quit. Then I would have no monkeys.
I like monkeys.
I also determined that if I were to ever create a robot duplicate of myself (a "co-worker" suggested this after hearing my monkey idea. My conversation with him lead me to suspect that someone had beat me to the dead monkey idea, but he didn't have a prehensile tail. [Maybe if he did, I wouldn't despise him as much]) I would have to prevent the robot from killing me and taking my place like they do in bad sci-fi movies. I determined that the best way to do this was to make the robot smart enough to realize that it wouldn't WANT to live my life.
More recently I had the idea of combining the robotics technology with the already approved dead monkey idea. This is, of course, a fantastically stupid idea, but I thought I'd mention it for one important reason. That reason being that I like to say "dead monkey cyborg." Try it, it's fun.
Seriously though, if I had the technical skills to build a perfect robot
duplicate of myself (the previously mentioned non-dead-monkey co-worker kept
insisting that that would be the greatest thing ever. <inside joke>
Der
grosste Gluck der Erde</inside joke>) I would certainly not waste
such a
valuable creation by having it go to work or school for me, as so many people
keep thinking would be so great. In fact, I wouldn't even make the robot a
duplicate of ME.
I would make it a duplicate of someone I hated. I mean someone I really,
REALLY
DESPISED. It would rob banks, and drop off small portions (so as not to be
noticed) of the money at places I could get it. It would beat up other
people
I didn't like, leaving them alive enough to extract revenge on the poor
sap I
duplicated. It would publicly engage in incredibly naughty sexual acts with
zoo animals. And just in case the robot were ever captured, the inner
systems
would be engraved with evidence to indicate that the robot was created
and owned
by someone else I didn't like. (Don't worry, at the rate things are going
I won't run out of these people anytime soon.) Or maybe just rigged with
explosives. Things that go boom when they die are fun.
Someone once told me that if I put as much creativity and effort into finding
better employment as I put into thinking about my unholy army of ninja dead
monkey cyborgs, then I'd... Um, well they said something would
happen.
Oh yeah, they said that I wouldn't be stuck in a meaningless,
mind-numbing
summer job. The problem with this particular logic is that very few
people are
willing to pay someone to come up with phrases like "mindless sqooshy
globs of
inbred retarded diarrhetic gorilla shit." If you know someone who is,
please
have them e-mail me.
Besides, I'd rather have an unholy army of
vampiric ninja
dead flying monkey cyborgs(tm!) than a better job. Wouldn't you?
