This was a short story told in a series of letters. The protagonist starts by writing a letter to a utility company about an error in his bill. By the last letter he is on death row trying to get his sentence commuted. Each letter is slightly misunderstood. I think it's from the late 60's and may have been in anthology like "Orbit".
In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.
