Buyer gets more than he asked for...
Robo Dog
by forestport12
My neighbor surprised me with his new dog, a robot! A remote control in his hand, he asked me to throw a stick.
“Wait a minute, Bob. That’s not the dog I saw on TV shooting fire?”
"Nonsense, that would be crazy.”
I pitched the stick toward the neighbor’s fence.
Fire flowed from the dog, igniting the fence and crossing into the neighbor’s yard on a tree before we heard sirens.
“Better send it back!”

Couldn't believe what I saw on tv. Then I wondered who would be allowed to purchase one.
