a funny book, anyone?

[Alina Israeli]

There were collections of stories by Arkanov, Slavkin, Gorin,  
Uspenskij, Altov and many others. This collection illustrates it: http://fantlab.ru/edition3257

Outside the USSR Sevela's Остановите самолет я слезу seemed very funny  
at the time: http://lib.ru/INPROZ/SEVELA/samolet.txt
