:I think the explanation James gave is potentially correct for the image text.  I can see it going either of 2 ways: 1.  As James mentioned above, a woman has rejected Cueball's advances.  Instead of taking it badly, he turns the tables by instead takes the Roomba out on a date/whatever (and their evening together went really well, as Cueball imagined the date with the woman going).  2.  He used the Roomba to satisfy his desires.  On a semi-related note, why isn't the Roomba cleaning up the petals it's spraying out?  It seems like the Roomba would uses it sensors to note this and head in the direction of the petals.

::Roombas have no sensors, they just randomly zig-zag around carpets sucking up anything they run over with a relatively weak battery-operated vacuum cleaner.  What I have less time believing is that a Roomba would go down the sidewalk for such a long period of time before making a crazy turn into the grass...

:::Fair enough.  I agree then about it being incredibly unlikely that the Roomba wouldn't make an arbitrary turn at some point, unless Schmammel's point (below) about the woman reprogramming it is correct.  If that's true, then I want to know where's she's programmed it to go!

I like the way it steers around the books just left in the middle of the floor.  Presumably it heads outside because Cueball left the door open.  Or did whoever set it up use the books to ensure it left the house by precalculating its behavior?
