A scientist succeeds in cloning himself.
He was asked to speak at a national convention of cloning scientists and researchers. The meeting room was located on the 45th floor of a New York skyscraper.
The scientist arrived, with his clone, and proceeded to the podium. The clone was seated at one end of the head table. The scientist began his speech, intending to deliver a tribute to the advances in the field of modern biology.
"My fellow scientists," he began. But before he could utter another word, the clone sprang to his feet and shouted out, "He's an ASSHOLE!". The crowd began to murmur as the scientist commanded the clone to "sit down and shut-up!" Apologizing for the interruption, the scientist began again, "My fellow scientists,". Again the clone sprang to his feet and yelled, "This dumb M-F'ing asshole couldn't produce a copy on a Xerox. He's a lying, fraudulent, C-S, SON-OF-A-BITCH!".
Incensed, the scientist rushed to the clone, grabbed him, and threw him out of the window. The crowd gasped and security rushed into the room. A short while later, several of New York's finest arrived; several witnesses described the events that had transpired.
The senior detective said to the scientist, "We are going to have to arrest you." The scientist replied, "For what? I have committed no crime. What fell from the window was a clone, not a person." The attending scientists nodded in silent agreement.
"Well," retorted the senior detective, "we cannot let this heinous act go unchallenged.". The senior detective thought for a moment and ordered the scientist held for "Making an obscene clone fall."
