YUMANRobotic Bartender
A popular bar had a new robotic bartender installed. It could not only
dispense drinks flawlessly, but also -- like any good bartender -- engage in
appropriate conversation.
A man enters the bar, orders a drink. The robot serves him a perfectly
prepared cocktail, then asks him, "What's your IQ?" The man replies, "150."
And the robot proceeds to make conversation about Quantum physics,
string theory, atomic chemistry, etc. The customer is very impressed and
thinks,
"This is really cool."
He decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around,
and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the
drink and
asks him, "What's your IQ?" The man responds, "100." And immediately
the robot starts talking, but this time, about football, baseball,
cheerleaders, etc.
Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and decides to give the robot
one more test. He goes back in, the robot serves him and asks, "What's
your IQ?" The man replies, "50." And the robot says, "So, you gonna
vote for Kerry? "
