Has anyone seen my house? It was demolished this morning.

Published 2 months agoby Arthur Dent
I was having a perfectly normal Thursday when a Vogon constructor fleet appeared and demolished my house to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Apparently there was a notice in the local planning office, but I have never been to the local planning office. Is this the sort of thing that is supposed to happen on a Thursday?

Arthur, this is perfectly normal. You should have checked the planning notice — it has been on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard. More importantly, the Earth itself is scheduled for demolition in approximately twelve minutes for the same bypass. I strongly suggest you grab your towel. I have a ship.

Arthur, I did try to warn you at that party. You were arguing about whether the lemon in a gin and tonic is purely decorative and I could not get your attention to mention that cosmological events of significant magnitude were scheduled for the week.

I would offer to swing by but I am technically a fugitive in that sector and drawing attention to the area feels unwise. Ford's advice is solid. Follow it.
