1 - Isaac Asimov was a master punster. He spoke of such a joke or story
as being a "shaggy dog story", and he had one story that was the
shaggiest of shaggy dog stories. It had a specially chosen title, which
itself was a pun. Do you know what it was? For extra credit, what was
the punchline?

I'm fairly sure I've read this one... It was a SF-y type Asdimov,
IIRC. But then, he wrote these types of things several times. Is it on
a par with Niven's chocolate covered manhole covers,. though?

Jasper

Dunno. Guess the title yet? Or the punchline?

(...) Nope. It's been too long, apparently. So, hows about them chocolate covered manhole covers? Jasper "As secret catch-phrases go, it beats 'Who is John Galt?' any day of the week" Janssen (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.pun)
