Arragonis, your joke was much clearer than Asimov's. To clarify, the man that ran off with Joe's wife became his best friend.
Jokes are never funny when you need to explain them.
Refuge, no, I imagine that you take pains to not insult anyone. I am reminded of a great friend from high school that played the viola. Of course, those of us that did not play music did not know the instrument, we just knew of the violin, so many assumed that was what she meant. One time someone said "Oh no! Don't say that! She will get angry!"
My friend then pretended to get angry and was humorously unconvincing.
I think that I have missed out on socializing because playing around periodically goes wrong. Like "swimming," which I consider to be attempting to drown those that you know and love. One time I was at a party and a guy was trying to play around with a girl. He went to throw water on him and I stopped him because she was standing by a big speaker. He tried to throw her in the pool and I stopped him because she had a cell phone.
I kind of consider myself to be a pacifist. I do not want to hurt anyone. Yet they sent me to Afghanistan with this:
I am really glad that I never needed to use it.
Anyway. Can you imagine Aerohead doing this:
A friend [a Biology professor] said "There's too much space between the students, so they won't transfer energy well at all. Plus, kids are too squishy to make good energy transfer models - a very poorly-designed experiment
"
