There's a v short story mentioned above by Fredric Brown. He is also responsible for the one about the computer, asked if there was a God, replying 'There is now.'

Still no agreement to my post above about Damon Runyon, imo one of the great kings of the genre, along with Saki, Thurber et al. Anyone else rate him as I do?

BTW, talking of Thurber, ~ pedantry alert! ~ the companion story to 'The Night The Ghost Got In' is called simply 'The Night The Bed Fell' ~~ NOT, as frequently misquoted [e.g. above] 'The Night The Bed Fell On Father'.
