How to Retire an Andy | eHow.com:
  • Start out each day by dialing for a businesslike and professional attitude on your Penfield.
  • Always review your poop sheets.
  • Keep informed about the newest model of android, and what they're capable of.
  • Never laser a human by mistake.
  • Never become emotionally or romantically involved with an andy. It's illegal and you may develop empathic feelings for it.
