I've got the swellest little kid and the swellest bunch of friends and the swellest old wife in the world.

And good old Lew Harrison is the salt of the earth, believe me. I sure wish him a lot of good luck with his new enterprise."

- The Euphio Question. Kurt Vonnegut, 1951

It wouldn't surprise me, for instance, if he had set the clockwork on this sample euphio set so that its radiations would addle your judgments when you are trying to make a decision. In fact, it seems to be whirring suspiciously at this very moment, and I'm so happy I could cry.

The only benefit we could get from euphio would be if we could somehow lay down a peace-of-mind barrage on our enemies while protecting our own people from it.

In closing, I'd like to point out that Lew Harrison, the would-be czar of euphio, is an unscrupulous person, unworthy of public trust.
