You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

--Man discovered fire, and used it to cook his food so he wouldn't have to expend so much energy chewing.

--Man invented matches, so he didn't have to expend so much energy starting the fire.

--Man invented the butane lighter so he didn't have to burn his fingers lighting the fire.

And now--

--Man invented the robotic vacuum cleaner so woman would not have to exert effort on the sweaty, dusty job of vacuuming. Instead, she can relax while making scientific observations of the family pets as they react to the new "creature" making all that noise and chasing them around the house.

The effort expended by woman getting man to BUY--not merely admire the engineering of--the robotic vacuum cleaner shall not be discussed here.
