All went well, and soon the clone was assuming a large proportion of the professor's work, freeing the professor for more enjoyable activities. Unfortunately, a major flaw in the clone's personality soon became apparent: he swore constantly, using profane obscenities to the embarrassment of the professor. Finally, the professor could stand it no longer, and decided to get rid of the clone. He took him to the observation deck of a tall building and managed to push him over the edge. The clone fell to his death, swearing profusely all the way down. Although the police wanted to arrest the professor for this, they couldn't decide on a charge, since there's no law against killing a clone. They did eventually prosecute him, however, when someone remembered that there IS a law against making an obscene clone fall!
