I was really cracking up thinking about this one...
Imagine a future in which companion bots can be made-to-order as anybody at all, human or alien or fur or whatever. Now, given popular characters in books, movies, etc., it's inevitable that many people availing themselves of this service will end up choosing the same person. You know, countless requests for a Nick Wilde, or a Ratchet, or whoever.
Now imagine showing up at a party with your companion in tow, only to find eight other people there who have the same companion. Puts "she wore the same dress as me" to shame as an embarrassing potential series of faux pas, no?
Honestly, the future cracks me up sometimes. ;-)
