From Issac Asimov's last book (a book of humour that he wrote as he was dying):
Thor thought he would visit earth and amuse himself with an earth woman (a common practice among the pagan gods). He found one who was almost as large as he himself was, and who looked at him with a smile on her lips and fire in her eyes. It didn't take long to come to an understanding and Thor went to work with all the enthusiasm and capacity of a Norse god. The night wore away in repeated bouts of passion an finally, as dawn was breaking, the god felt it would only right to acquaint the woman with the great good fortune that had come her way. Standing up, he stroked his great red beard and said, "Know, O woman, that I am Thor." Whereupon the woman looked at him wearily and said, "YOU'RE Thor! Thy, thufferin thathafrath, I'm tho thore I can't even thit up."
--- That guy, he could tell jokes. And write wonderful stories. It's too bad that he didn't write spanking fiction because he had he would have blown Heinlein's spanking stuff away. |
