Professor Gee and the M-Prev 5000
Nothing made the M-Prev 5000 quite so angry as drowning. It could handle the electrocution, the insect swarms, the poison beet gas, even the steak knife pit. But when Professor Gee sent it into the deep oily water below the lab, M-Prev blew its last fuse. "Bleep!" it sounded in protest.
"You knew this was the gig when you signed up," the professor chided, having none of it. "You help me around the lab, and I make the deluxe death ray that destroys everyone and everything that's ever annoyed us. That was the deal. So what's your problem?"
"Bloop," M-Prev responded, increasing its volume level by forty five percent. The professor threw the great transformer switches, clearly annoyed. "Look, it's a lab," Gee started. "Not just a lab, an EVIL lab. You had to know I would have some dangerous stuff laying around. I put "high pain threshold" right in the ad, remember?"
M-Prev raised its volume percentage once again. "Bleep," it said, quite loudly now. "Alright," Prof Gee relented, just wanting to get back to his death ray, which seldom complained. "Okay, alright. From now on, I will refrain from subjecting you to unnecessary harm." But then the professor remembered something and added, "Right after you crawl inside the death ray and tie off that radiation leak. I asked you to do that this morning, so that doesn't count."
The M-Prev sighed. "You're a blooping bleep, you know that?"
