Punny Science-Fiction Anthology - Includes a humorous story where the starship engine is low on plasma, so the crew holds a blood drive. Read around 2009.

[Jeremy]

I read an anthology of science-fiction short stories about 10 or so years ago. All of the stories were comedic, several of them were pun-intensive. I think there were about a dozen stories in the anthology.

One of the stories had a bit about insufficient plasma levels in the space ship's star drive, so the crew held a blood drive.

Sound familiar to anybody?

No, but I wish there was a way to follow this so I can read it too when you find out what it is

Just by commenting, Erika, you are now able to follow this, because in your comment history, you'll see whenever someone's said something new.

Laughing Space might be it Laughing Space: An Anthology of Science Fiction Humor

Or possible "Unidentified Funny Objects" Unidentified Funny Objects

Andy,

It's not either of the titles you mentioned, but Unidentified Funny Objects sounds great. I'm adding it to my TBR list.

Thanks

I'm sure I haven't read it, but it sounds like the kind of thing Piers Anthony might have written.

Jeremy, have you tried searching on Worldcat.org? For example:

https://www.worldcat.org/advancedsearch > Subject: science fiction short stories | Keyword: funny | 1970-2010 ? | Fiction | Book | English

[Jeremy]

Yes, Worldcat was one of the first places I checked.
I found a bunch of science fiction short stories and/or anthologies tagged as humorous, but didn't find the specific one I'm looking for.

I'm thinking something by Spider Robinson? Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, maybe?

[Jeremy]

It's definitely not a Spider Robinson book. I have read almost everything by him, and I'd have no trouble identifying his work.

I'm re-opening/bumping this topic. I hadn't noticed that the mods marked it as abandoned.
