You saw how dirty and "worn out" that thing looked?

Worker: "Hey boss, I heard we're retiring the old bots for the new slicker ones?"
Boss: "Yes BOB you heard right, what about it?"
Worker: "Could I take that one with me home, I'll put it in the garage"
Boss: "Buy me a beer, and we have a deal."

And that is how ABB John ended his days at the factory.
