It was a robot shaped like a old time boxer of course,a Jack Dempsey type figure
and you jerked your hand back at the last second as you sensed
you'd been had.
You quickly hopped out of the boxing ring and demanded
your penny back from the clerk.
Since you weighed 250 pounds and were a good three inches taller then the clerk,he meekly handed you back your penny.
You were preparing to leave when you heard that eerie robotic voice say
"You shouldn't have done that chump"
and you turned around to see that the machine was coming over the ropes and heading towards
the clerk
The clerk began blubbering in fear but the machine cornered him and gripped
his hands in a boxing glove.
As you watched in fascinated horror you could see that the clerk was stiffening
becoming more mechanical.
Soon where the clerk had stood was
another boxing robot and it
clanked over to the center of the boxing ring and took the spot previously
occupied by the Jack Dempsey figure.
You just stood there,too terrified to move as the menacing Jack clicked towards you and said
"Well chump,looks like you own me now.Where do we go from here?"
