Calvin: Hey, Dad, I'm inventing a robot. Can you get me a patent? Dad: You invented a robot? Calvin: Well, here it is so far. Hobbes and I have been working on it all afternoon. It's not quite perfected yet, but you get the idea. Dad: Hmm...what does it do? Calvin: That's the problem. We haven't figured out how to make it do what we want. Dad: Don't get discouraged, your mom and I got the same results after working on you for six year. Calvin: Har har. My attourney is a comedian.
