Fribozz Introduces Sizes in Mini You Clones

In response to the astounding success of the Fribozz Mini You clone
product, the company has embarked on an extension of this theme by way of
providing additional sizes of your very own personal clone: the Midi You,
Maxi You and Extra Large You. The Midi You will be roughly half your size,
with a margin of error of around 1 foot. The Maxi You will be as large as
you i.e. you in your gross entirety. The Extra Large You product will be a
larger than life version of yourself of intimidating and indeterminate
proportions. Fribozz engineers are beside themselves with delight. "We had
never imagined that we would be able to control the sizes of our clones to
such fine granularity", said DNA & Mutation engineer Bruce Freak.
One minor concern remains to haunt the Fribozz ManyYou project
team. Slight variations in ambient lab temperatures are found to cause
an extra or missing large toe on the left foot of manufactured clones.
Extreme temperature swings are suspected to possibly cause an entire
extra or missing foot or head. The recent heat wave in the Mid West
has resulted in power problems at the lab, and consequently, deviations
in clone manufacturing from set standards. In order to reduce production
backlog, Fribozz is offering customers a choice of an extra free cloned
foot or a coupon for 50 cents off the next purchase along with any finished
imperfect product, in exchange for having to remanufacture a defective
clone from scratch. "This is not a serious problem", said Freak, "because
the clone still mostly resembles the buyer to a very good degree".
