Review

Another comedy from PKD. Some people say that SF doesn’t have much humor, but stories like this prove them wrong. This is a very short story, but humorous in a way that will have you laughing for quite a while and make you start seeing language differently. Dick reinterprets common language in his own reality-distortion manner. Recommended.
