Search - Cosmic Laughter: Science Fiction for the Fun of It

This is a 10 library star book. Each of the science fiction stories has oddball humor in it, and lots of unusual twists and unexpected endings. Two favorites to mention to you. 1. To Serve Man. This is the original story they based upon the Twilight Zone episode of the same title. You remember, free energy, get rid of war, starvation, fighting, disease, make everyone healthy and strong and full after every meal. What happens to a society that is "perfect"??? Yum! 2. Gallegher Plus is probably Kuttner's best short work. Only when the main character is drunk does he become a genius. When he sobers up, he does not know what he has invented or why. Gallegher plays a drinking game with a boss-mafia-guy. When the boss-mafia guy's thugs arrive to tell the boss they can't find Gallegher, they tell the thoroughly drunk boss-mafia guy no wonder, he's been sitting with you all along, what a perfect place to hide.
