Maybe cigars aren’t an option, but at least give up smoking pipes.

Old Bot can’t help it, it’s his ancient circuit boards.

It’s not the boards or the pipes, it’s the tubes.

warranty must be over…

Apparently he was using the patch improperly. It should have gone over the tube.

He should use filters.

All electronic/electro-mechanical devices are made of smoke.Every see one work after the smoke gets out?

Old Bot has Motherboard issues

An obvious punch line gives rise to lots of really clever puns. You can’t lose with this strip.

I can smell what the BOT is cooking!

Microwave popcorn anyone?!? . . . . . ☻

On a related topic . . . why was the bridge of the Enterprise in the original series (with Kirk and Spock) always catching fire?

Ray C. and Kowalski always got hit on the head in the hallway….

Ray C., And Kowalski always got hit on the head in the hallway

That went well.

Cough Cough!

LOL xxx

Ray C., Oh, man after that gag….I hope you can run faster than Kowalski…(Marg, maybe the first one was the right one after all…)

There was an interesting video on youtube that I found the other day about super conductors and phase locking. With a sufficiently chilled superconducting disk, you can have levitation 4" UNDER a metal plate, with the disk rotating along the edge of a circular plate stuck at whatever angle you turned it. I’m sure this kind of behavior would drive electronics engineers mad trying to troubleshoot a logic circuit using superconducting wires. May be better to just install WiFi all across the ship.
