An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, some apple and peach trees. The pond was fixed up for swimming with a dock and beach.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look things over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a group of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence, and they all went into the deep water. One of the women shouted, "We're not coming out until you leave."
The old man frowned. "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies naked or to make you get out of the pond." Holding up the bucket he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."
Moral: Old men can still think fast.

I think there might be a few exception.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
