Once upon a time in a castle
made out of envelopes and
used pinatas, there was a short
prince name Allen and his robot
dog Dogbot. The two loved to
creep and hide in the huge
castle hallways, ducking in and
out of rooms, running, laughing
and sliding down staircases in
burlap bags like those huge
slides at amusement parks.
Occasionally, Dogbot would fall
over in the middle of running
when his batteries would
suddenly die.

"Darn these steam powered
batteries to hell!" Prince
Allen would cry. He would
carefully pick up Dogbot and
carry it up the the wizard's
private laboratory on the 7th
floor of the castle.

"Did the batteries die
AGAIN?!" the wizard would say,
looking over his spectacles.

"Yeah, they suck man...I love
playing with dogbot so much...I
want him to always be on, but
these steam powered batteries
last such a short time...please
help me."

The wizard ran his fingers
through his long beard and sat
and thought for a while. "There
may be a way", he said slowly,
"Only it could be extremely
dangerous and may cost you your
life."

Allen's eyes grew wide.
"Dude, I like Dogbot a lot, but
I'm not gonna risk my damn life
for him...Geez...it's a toy...
what the hell?..."

The wizard looked shocked. He
picked up Dogbot and layed him
in a solid gold box. "I made
Dogbot as a companion for you,"
said the wizard, "and since you
are son to the King, it is my
job to please you and make sure
that Dogbot is the best robot
dog companion since the one in
the tv show 'Battlestar
Galatica." Allen shrugged his
shoulders and left. Later that
night in the wizard's library,
the tall magical man sat
pondering on how to improve the
dogbot, or at least create a
battery with longer life.
"Perhaps I could fool the
Prince", he thought, and simply
put a real dog inside a robot
suit. The Prince would never
know until the dog maybe ate
something or went to the
bathroom...it might work." He
went out into the night looking
for a dog that would fit inside
the pre-existing robot. None
could be found. Though, he did
manage to find some some roots,
fiberglass, onion skins, and
doorknob polish. The wizard
took his findings up into the
laboratory and began working.
The most incredible thing was
that he actually invented the
"double A" battery and the
plastic salad fork tosser
thingy. Incredible.

"This has been my speech for
the 1999 inventors of America
Reunion Tour. I hope you have
all enjoyed it and will enjoy
the giant dogbot-shaped cake in
lobby. My wife Dr. Gingham made
it herself in honor of this
wonderful gathering. Are there
any questions? Yes... you in the
back of the room.

"What ever happened to Prince
Allen?"

"Well, that's a funny story
and a good question actually. In
1964, archeologists actually
recovered Prince Allen's bones.
He died still a Prince due to
the fact that the King was
immortal and never left the
throne. While examining the
bones, researchers discovered
that his rib cage was twice the
normal size of people of his
time. They actually determined
that this was due to his having
a huge heart. Apparently his
love for dogbot made his life so
wonderful that his heart grew
and grew until eventually it
killed him, oddly enough. Next
question please...and folks,
please, not everyone at once;
yes you there in the front row."

"Are the batteries we use
today still made the same way
that the wizard invented?"

"No. Next question please."

"I was wondering; you
mention that Prince Allen died a
Prince and something about his
father the King being a manhole
...what did you mean?"

"Ha HA, no...I said
'immortal.' He never died...
'manhole'...boy, that was funny.
I know I shouldn't laugh,
the acoustics in this submarine
are so poor. Next question."

"If the father of the prince was immortal, where is he now?"

I know lots of obscure things. I remembered seeing this story/skit thing a while ago.

Cheers Nicko!
