So we're also going by the date you were patented? And how come you didn't post your patent? How do we know you aren't a cheap knockoff?

Those mods shouldn't affect your market value.

Sew you're in mint condition? Is there a lot of character that comes with it? Are there any strings attached?

I checked, but it turns out that my parents never had me patented. Sure, they had tried, but the patent office said that their product had failed the "Dumber than a bag of hammers" test and was not eligible. My folks offered to have me undergo extensive rewiring and experimentation, but they were informed that you can't fix stupid.
While I find the historical accuracy of this story to be slightly suspi-cious, I can't argue with their findings.

No, Bapu. That's impossible. Bubba is a drummer.
Until I came along, most Idiotologists considered Absolute Stupidity to be a theoretical limit that could never actually be attained. Now, I'm their mascot.
