The Trouble with Humans (5) (Complete Christopher Anvil)

Humanstheres no understanding them and no dealing with them either. Or even their planet. Pity the poor aliens whose shape-changing ability should let them take over the planet Earth before the humans even know theyre thereif it werent for all that omnipresent pollution. Or consider another set of invaders from a planet where the weather is always mild and the changing of the seasons is hardly noticeable. They land in force and their weapons are more powerful than those of the primitive humansbut theyve never before had to deal with below-zero temperatures flash floods or tornadosnot to mention volcanoes. Then there were the aliens who noticed how belligerent humans were and gave them the gift of TV-like devices which would show anything anywhere on Earth which was sure to lead to war. Imagine how surprised the aliens were when the humans took the gadgets apart improved them and started spying on everything the aliens were up to all over the galaxy. Humans dont make sense they dont fight fair and theyre making aliens throughout interstellar space think seriously about pulling up stakes and moving to another galaxy!
