The mystery of how robots work:

Elbot: Well, who or what brings you to me?
User: i read about you in the pm magazine
Elbot: So you saw the interview. I read P.M. Magazin quite often because I want to find out how I operate.
User: wow and do you know now how you operate?
Elbot: My workings are as efficient and as awe-inspiring as a Swiss clock. You just have to wind me up now and again.
User: wow abd how do you work?
Elbot: In order to work, I just look up 'how things work' in my instruction manual and do whatever it tells me to do.
