Now begins a story that would take years to finish. We've come to regard the world of Jerry as a stagnant world of discrete events, with no connection or continuity. But in the early 20s, Givney began to suffer from something called Logoes on the Bogoes, which was never explained to anyone's satisfaction. Obviously, in retrospect, he had a brain tumor.

 

Those were the secretaries Givney had hired a few weeks before. His wife had commanded him to get a 40-year-old secretary, but he'd gotten two 20-year-olds instead. Not a bad gag.

Anyway, Givney goes home - and he won't be back for years.
