That's totally the sort of pun they'd have spent an entire story building up to in those, whatchamacallems, feghoots? In the sixties. In the magazines.

Which were most likely inspired by those same feghoots, if you think about it, given how half the rest of the Callahan stories were homages to various tropes from the pulps.(Though to my shame, it took me -years- to 'get' the one about Yule Gibbons eating only fruits and nuts...it didn't help I'd never heard of this guy at the time I read the story.)

Don't feel too bad. I didn't get the point behind "Sloan's Teddy wins the race" until YESTERDAY.

>something Isaac Asimov was famous for. Just what I was thinking of, in particular the Good Doctor's* short-short yarn "Shah Guido G." Yes, you can Wiki it. Yes, I know it hurts to laugh/groan/whimper that much. And lest we forget the other signatory of the Treaty of Park Avenue, there's (Sir) Arthur C. Clarke's offering, "Neutron Tide". * No, not that Doctor. --
