Dr. Marx patted the robotic surgeon. “Be careful what you say. It interprets sayings as literal directives.”
Director King observed the patient’s ten thumbs. “Really?”
Marx nodded. “We should reprogram it.”
King sighed. “Okay. Better than a sharp stick in the eye.”

Great stuff, Eric. You have a way with witty brevity. (The link to microstories wasn’t working for me . . . Don’t know if that’s an issue on my end, your end or theirs, but I might want to play along sometime. Need to keep my creativity flowing.)
All my best,
Marie Gail

Thank you! Glad you liked it. I posted this a tad early. I think the link won’t work until tomorrow when they open the grid for the gargleblasters. I’ve got a busy day tomorrow so I’m writing in advance. I’m looking forward to see what what you write. Thanks for stopping in!

I know. Bizarre isn’t it? That’s what a patients for saying, “I’m all thumbs,” around a poorly programmed robotic surgeon. Yikers! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
