Meet Mr. Slug

The next day was Friday. After we pledged the allegiance, it was time for science class. Our science teacher is Mr. Docker. He has a car that runs on potatoes. Mr. Docker is off his rocker.

When we got to the science room, Mr. Docker was talking to a guy I never saw before.

“I’d like you to meet Mr. Harrison,” Mr. Docker told us. “He’s the new tech guy for our school.”

“Tech guy?” we all asked. “What’s a tech guy?”

“I fix things that are broken,” said Mr. Harrison. “Computers, copy machines, telephones. I build things, too.”

Mr. Harrison was tall and skinny. He had weird hair and one of those plastic pocket protectors on his shirt with a bunch of pens sticking out of it. His pants were too short. What a nerd!

“Mr. Harrison and I built something together,” said Mr. Docker.

Mr. Harrison took a remote control out of his pocket and pushed a button. And you’ll never believe what happened next. A robot came walking out of the closet!

“We want to introduce you to Mr. Slug,” said Mr. Docker.

Mr. Slug walked to the front of the class, bumping into a few desks along the way. He didn’t look like any robot I ever saw. He had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, a can of beer in one hand, and a bag of potato chips in his other hand. His eyes were crossed. Mr. Slug was a mess.

“You shouldn’t have cigarettes and beer in school,” said Andrea. “It’s a bad influence on children.”

“Yes, we know,” said Mr. Docker. “Ms. Leakey inspired us to build Mr. Slug. We wanted to show what happens to people who smoke and drink and eat poorly.”

“Does Mr. Slug talk?” I asked.

“Sure,” said Mr. Harrison. “Mr. Slug, how…are…you…feeling…today?”
