Human: When you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?
ALICE: Do you think I should alter my programming?

I think ALICE got hung up on the word "you". Asking it a slightly different
way ...

###
Human: When a smurf is choked what color does he turn?
ALICE: It's not unusual for a smurf to be. Blue

Amusing that ALICE knows of smurfs and is aware of the occasional homicidal
attacks. <g>

Martin got me interested in this stuff again but I didn't want a
java based thing on my site.  I found a PHP version called Program E
at http://www.rydell.com/programe/index.html and when I asked it
that question it answered, "Is this a riddle?"
