"Humots executed slow, rhythmic dances to an intricate pattern, heads nodding, clapping their own hands turning to clap others hands. Some were grotesquely male, some grotesquely female. In the door-ways, or sitting on old refrigrtators, other grotesques look on.
These were the humots-old type human-designed robots of the late twentieth and early twenty fifth centuries useless in an all-automatic world, scrapped when the old technology was scrapped."
