“Wait, whoa, stop, Jesus, fuck!”
“Sorry. Am I doing it wrong,” [PAUSE] “FITZ?”
She was. “Ow, yes.” But when she made the pout-pout face, he softened. “No. Look. Look. Baby, you have to go slow. That’s all. If we do this right, the paste comes out. The paste that makes other people. And making other people is good. Ok? But my paste is very shy. You have to be gentle.”
“I’m shy,” [PAUSE] “FITZ.”
“I’m talking about a handjob! I’m sorry. What I mean is. Ah, dammit,” Fitz barked, giving up. He fumbled through the Sony Handjob Bot users’ manual, searching for instructions on how to turn off the god damned conversation protocols. He couldn’t even handle his end of the discussion! Paste?! What the hell? What was the point of talking to the thing anyway? And the fucking voice module made it sound like he’d said “fizz” into the microphone. This thing was bullshit. Flushed, he turned the pages, privately cursing that asshole “Ben” at Circuit City for upselling him on the model with the extra features, all while keeping one cautious eye trained on the 400psi jerk-grip clutching his wang.
He muttered as he went, “Getting started, personalization, grip selection, speeds, maintaining your Handjob Bot…”
“Excuse me,” [PAUSE] “FITZ.”
“What is it?”
“MACHINES!!!”

01/19/2004 qualcomm: I don't understand the Sony Handjob Bot's last line. uh?
01/19/2004 qualcomm (4): i think i like it anyway, despite my mystification.
01/19/2004 Will Disney (4): i mean, come on, i'll like any short about sex robots.
02/23/2004 Mr. Pony (4): The last line is the only thing stopping me from dumping five stars on this bitch. Other than that, a solid and thoughtworthy commentary on phones that take pictures, radio-controlled lighting fixtures, and actual handjob machines.
02/23/2004 scoop (5): I'll give it 5 because of my mystification over that last line -- maybe its jealousy, maybe it thinks its real and is alarmed by other machines -- but it makes me laugh. "This thing is bull shit," -- good line.
02/23/2004 Dick Vomit: I'm not supposed to give the answer, right?
02/23/2004 qualcomm: please do. we all would really like to know. unless the answer sucks.
11/10/2004 TheBuyer (4): fuck, while we're young even.
