A famous scientist required a laboratory assistant. He ran ads in the paper and on the internet. He reviewed thousands of resumes and conducted hundreds or interviews. But no suitable assistant could be found.
"What I need," he mused, "is another me."
So he cloned himself. This worked out well and the two got a lot of work done. There was just one problem. The clone was a dirty minded foul mouth.
This created friction in the lab and embarrassed the great scientist in social situations. After some time, he decided to do away with the clone.
So he tricked the clone into visiting the Empire State Building. They visited the Observation Deck. The scientist snuck up on the clone and shoved him over the side.
The clone screamed vulgarities all the way down.
When the police arrived, they arrested the great scientist. "Why are you arresting me? I have harmed no one, it's only a clone, and it's my own clone at that."
The detective replied, "The charge isn't murder. You are charged with Making an Obscene Clone Fall"
