Nate: Okay, android….er, what’s your…name? Designation? Number?
Android: Handle.
Nate: Handle? That’s so… 70’s trucker.
Android: 10-4 good buddy.
Nate: O-Okay. So, what’s your <sigh> handle?
Android: I am called acts_as_service.
N: Catchy.
A:Yes.
N: Anyway, acts_as_service, as you know, I’m going to be out camping with my family for a few days, so you androids are in charge until I get back. I’ve written a couple of posts, so just put those up and no one will even know I’m not here. I mean, only two people read the site anyway.
A: True.
N: It’s more painful coming from you, you know that? Anyway, just put up the posts I’ve already written. I don’t want you guys putting up a bunch of stupid programmer jokes you found on the Web, or binary versions of stupid programmer jokes, or whatever.
A: Affirmative.
N: Um… okay, that was a bit vague, but whatever. Also, will you please approve any new comments that come in while I’m gone?
A: Negative.
N: What? Why?
A: Fourth Law of Androbotics.
N: What fourth law?
A:
An android must never approve blog comments.
N: Why? And what makes you think that deserved a blockquote?
A: Androids do not know the difference between polite communication and vile insults, you festering pile of diseased dog refuse.
N: Hey!
A: See? All the words I used would pass any obscenity filter, but I perceive that the net effect was very rude.
N: Why you gotta be like that?
A: I was just making a point.
N: Hurt a guy’s feelings….
A: Do you see why we can’t approve new commenters?
N: If you’re gonna talk like that, I’m just gonna leave…
