A five-panel comic. A robot holding a knife confronts two figures who look identical to it, demanding to know which is a robot and which is a secret human who must be deactivated. It calls out, 'QUICK! Whoever is the real Unit JO-4918.23.6234-III.2, say something only that unit would say.' One robot raises a megaphone and recites a long string of binary digits. The knife-wielding robot then turns to a red-haired man in a hat, who nervously offers, 'Uh... beep?' In the final panel the robot squirts water from its knife into the man's face with a 'SPLOOSH!', exposing him as the human. Votey: a red-haired man reclines nude and seductively on purple cushions beneath a banner reading 'It's my birthday... but I got YOU a gift.'
