Second the motion by Upstill on the Retief stories. A couple of other
favorites: the Svetz time-travel series by Larry Niven, collected in
\\The Flight of the Horse//, and \\The Flying Sorcerers//, by David
Gerrold (and, I believe, somebody else; I don't have it, so I can't check).
Also, if you like extrapolation carried to ridiculous lengths, you
might check out "Man of Steel - Woman of Kleenex", also by Larry Niven.
This can be found in \\All the Myriad Ways//, along with the entertaining
(but not properly humorous) essays on the theory and practice of time
travel and teleportation.

Avoid the \\Myth Adventures// series by Robert Asprin unless you enjoy
wretched puns in excess.
