Ok, so I found this cartridge outside my station. It looked about the size of a DS game cartridge and I figured I would try. I gave it to babygirl and let her put it in. The DS linked to my secured home network and showed a calming blue with the words, “Don’t Panic”
Lights on the screen started flashing. I got a towel and was ready to begin, but I don’t know what to do with this thing.
And I was wondering what all the thunderstorms as of late were about. It’s just the Vogons getting the planet nice and wet so when they blow it up, it won’t be quite so much fire. Sneaky Vogons. I think I’m gonna go home and have some beer and peanuts now, and snuggle up with my towel.
*Stress and nervous tension are now serious social problems in all parts of the Galaxy, and it is in order that this situation should not in any way be exacerbated that the following facts will now be revealed in advance.
The planet in question is in fact the legendary Magrathea.
The deadly missile attack shortly to be launched by an ancient automatic defence system will result merely in the breakage of three coffee cups and a micecage, the bruising of somebody’s upper arm, and the untimely creation and sudden demise of a bowl of petunias and an innocent sperm whale.
In order that some sense of mystery should still be preserved, no revelation will yet be made concerning whose upper arm sustained the bruise. This fact may safely be made the subject of suspense since it is of no significance whatsoever.*
