  1. Alexa, make me a sandwich by roman_mir · · Score: 0, Redundant

    A man: Alexa, I need a sandwich and a blowjob.
    A woman: what did you say?
    He: I said Alexa, I need a sandwich and a blowjob.
    She: and why would I give you either?
    He: ... Well, I was asking that device over there but now that you mentioned it go ahead, you do it.

    Slaps her on the butt.

    I think that is the scenario that might play out. I think it should play out!
