.&.&.&.&.& .~~~ BATTERIES ~~~. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& BATTERIES MAY NOT HARM A HUMAN OR, .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& THROUGH INACTION, ALLOW A HUMAN BEING .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& TO COME TO HARM. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& A BATTERY MUST OBEY THE ORDERS GIVEN IT .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& BY HUMAN BEINGS EXCEPT WHERE SUCH .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& ORDERS CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST LAW. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& A BATTERY MUST PROTECT ITS OWN .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& EXISTENCE AS LONG AS SUCH PROTECTION .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST OR .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& SECOND LAWS. .&.&.&.&.&

.&.&.&.&.& THESE THINGS POWER ALMOST EVERYTHING, .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& BUT WHEN I SPEAK ABOUT BATTERIES I .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& SPEAK ABOUT STANDARD HOUSEHOLD ONES. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& THINK DOUBLE A, TRIPLE A, .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& TWENTYFIVE TWENTY, NINE VOLT, SUCH .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& THINGS... .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& THEY LOOK SLICK BUT ARE VERY DIRTY .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& INSIDE. .&.&.&.&.&
