If I recall it was published on its own first, in a magazine or something. Has always been one of my favorites since reading it. Sury it's made it into a Vonnegut collection by now Come to think of it, that would be a good candidate for one of those classic heirloom books.

I love Vonnegut, most give up after being forced to read Slaughterhouse-Five in high school and do not dig into his amazing collection. Also him with Rodney Dangerfield in this classic is hilarious.
