History
First publication: Future Fiction, July 1940
Review
Comedy. Not recommended. Asimov himself called this story embarrasing in his collection, The Early Asimov. It’s not all that bad considering it was an early story, but it relies on very cliché jokes and situations. It isn’t all that funny. At least he didn’t throw in any bathroom humor.
