h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

}There hasta be a half hour between 'em.{

I'm glad that we're all safety-conscious here on h2g2. Keep up the good work!
Tell me, how long should you wait after eating before crashing onto a gas-giant planet?

I'm sure a light consomme and a bottle of Burgundy will go down nicely

I'm sure a light consomme and a bottle of Burgundy will go down nicely and will have limited effect on the stomach as our experienced pilot lands this swimming pool in her sleep, because she can.

Indeed she can, but we'd better remind her that she promised us she will... Otherwise she may forget.
*Dives into the pool, and soaks everyone with the waterguns*

*rocked by waves, knocking over half-finished bottle of burgundy and plate which until recently held light consomme*

Hey, that's not fair! You know I'm not allowed to swim until half an hour after eating!

*grabs watergun nevertheless, and runs alongside pool, soaking BB while he/she is swimming away laughing*

Take that, and that, and that...MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

*BB (male) swims away still laughing, even though he's been soaked.*
We didn't force that food into you!

A good burgundy should never be forced. It should also not be watered down, so do be careful please. My soup is well watery now, even for a consomme

Okay, we'll try not to splash you, Munchkin.

*As half an hour has definitely passed since consomme and burgundy, jumps back in pool to continue swimming to Jupiter*

*Keeps one eye out for BB, and his watergun*

[Mew/Pillow hovers in midair]

Ah, now we come to the obvious problem with drinking and then swiming, swiming with a hangover. It certainly makes the sides of the pool vibrate in an interesting manner.

Well, as long as no-one gets *too* drunk and is sick in the pool...

Mew!

Well, after a couple healthy lengths I now am feeling much better. Shouldn't be long till we start surfing though, best get my tea tray ready.

*tries to swim length of the pool, but surfaces three quarters of the way there, spluttering*

Hmmm, not bad, though.

*executes five consecutive forward tumbleturns in the water, then comes up for air*

Are these anyones goggles? I found them at the bottom

*puts goggles on and swims underwater again, looking for other stuff to scavange*

Yes, you can use the goggles.
Is the Yellow Submarine still at the bottom of the pool?

[Pillow transforms back into a Mew and briefly goes underwater. He then pops back up]

}Yes.{

Yeah I saw it on my last dive, a big yellow thing lying on the bottom. Are there still people in there?

Probably - we may have to rescue them before we land/crash etc.
