Douglas Adams shares a table
Was looking for where I'd read this before. This is on snopes :(
@vai I suspected something like that, but was too lazy too google it.
Doesn't matter. Still great.
The use of "cookie" instead of "biscuit" was an immediate red flag for me, but I enjoyed it thoroughly nonetheless.
best thing today.
The Missus gamely notes that Doug used this skit in perhaps one of the radio episodes for Hitchhiker's Guide as something that happened to Arthur Dent. Arthur related this story to Fenchurch.
