There is no doubt
in my mind that someday robots will...
not control the world. The robotics
engineers will take over the
World — I can't wait.

The funniest thing about robots is...
the perception you have to be smart to work with
robots. You just have to have patience and the will
to get it done.
My kids will never understand how I... lived in
my pre-kids days because we will never tell them, right?
If robots could talk they would tell us... If they could
talk? Looney talks to me every day, and he tells me how wonder-
ful I am, because that's exactly what I program him to tell me.
The strangest thing about being both a robotics engineer and a come-
dian is... that there is nothing strange about it. Every day I hear "Oh great, another typical Robotics Engineer Stand-
Up Comic; if I had a dime…"
The one thing that really surprises me about robots is... when they work. When you work with robots you see
them fail so many times that when they finally work it's shocking.
Behind my back, I think my students are saying... nothing — they say it right to my face.
Most people don't realize that one day robots will... be able to legally marry humans. I mean they will act as a
Justice of the Peace and marry a man and woman , not a robot marrying a person; that would be odd.
My awards from the Robo-Olympics prove... God has a sense of humor.
