Howard, Sheldon and others in “The Fuzzy Boots Corollary”

Sheldon, if you were a robot, and I knew and you didn't, would you want me to tell you?

That depends. When I learn that I'm a robot, will I be able to handle it?

Maybe, although the history of science fiction is not on your side.

Uh, let me ask you this: when I learn that I'm a robot, would I be bound by Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics?

You might be bound by them right now.

That's true. Have you ever harmed a human being, or, through inaction, allowed a human being to come to harm?

Of course not.

Have you ever harmed yourself or allowed yourself to be harmed except in cases where a human being would've been endangered?

Well, no.

I smell robot.
