766.0. "Fabled Fondue" by OTOO01::SOOLEY (Bob) Tue Jan 16 1990 06:02

    I am having a small dinner party next week.  The entrance ticket
    is a five minute short story, to be read or told at the table upon
    the completion of four or five bottles of wine.
    
    As the host, I would like to have the best story. . . Any ideas,
    serious or absurd would be appreciated.
    
    Thx

    "Nightmare in Gray" or "Nightmare in Blue" from _Nightmares and
    Geezenstacks_, by Fredrick Brown.  Both are downers, though.
                                                          
    NAG has been out of print for some time, but a used bookstore or
    library might have it.

Per guest?  Any five-minute snippet from the local telephone book ought to be
sufficient for ample merriment.
