Do you know how many dilithium crystals are wasted being polite to the computer?

Top Left: "Hot chocolate, please."

Top Right "We, uh, we don't ordinarily say 'please' to food dispensers around here."

Bottom Left: "Have I been talking too much?"

Bottom Right: "Yes, cut it out"

Waiting for eye pupil removal surgery to come back from the 1930's. That Little Orphan Annie comic caused a lot of ocular dysmorphia in its day.
