Redundancy of the Cybermen

The problems in our relationship began when the empire embarked on a major upgrade of all cybermen, and my husband was made redundant.

"We have to let you go", the cyberleader told him, "You older models just don't cut the mustard"

"But, leader, I was recently refurbished with a heat ray"

"Those heat rays are rubbish, and no longer covered by the manufacturer's warranty. You are about as menacing as a giant roll of bacofoil"

After that my husband fell into a depressive decline. He has gone completely off sex, and will only leave the house to walk the dog.
