Bill, the Galactic Hero by Harry Harrison

It was the highest honour to defend the Empire against the dreaded Chingers, an enemy race of seven-foot-tall lizards. But Bill, a Technical Fertilizer Operator from a planet of farmers, wasn't interested in honour - he was only interested in two things: his chosen career, and the shapely curves of Inga-Maria Calyphigia. Then a recruiting robot shanghaied him with knockout drops, and he came to in deep space, aboard the Empire warship Christine Keeler. And from there, things got even worse...
Simply the funniest science fiction book ever written
Harry Harrison was born Henry Maxwell Dempsey in Connecticut, in 1925.

He died in 2012.
