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

that's not really a good thing you know.

Why not?

would you not prefer it that people hung around you because they liked you and wanted to, rather than you'd scared or bullied them into it?

Who says my friends are scared of me?

to repeat an earlier conversation topic - who said you'd friends? real ones anyway.

I said so, and so would my friends if you had botheed to ask them, which you didn't cos it would thoroughly destroy your arguement.

well i'd kinda assumed that if they considered you a friend they'd have mentionesd it in the bit for friends in their space.

and since one did i might allow that you have one friend, but the other didn't, so maybe they don't think so well of you or they don't know you?

The one you have accepted as my friend mentions something called 'The 4 Powers of Testicles', and also mentions that I am a member. The other one also mentions that he is a member, so it's only logical that we are friends.

no necessarily. you could both be part of the same organisation yet have never met, or could have met but hate each other.

just because you are both members of the same thing doesn't mean you're friends.

Since there were 4 of us to start with, it wouldn't make sense to be enemies, would it?

ok. you have a point there. and since we're on the topic of enemies - can we not be enemies? can we stop all this daftness and start trying to get along better?

Yeah, sure. Let's hug and agree that we both have friends in a very real and tangible sense of the word.

yes we both have real friends. can we include each other in our really long lists of friends?

Sounds like a plan!

that's great! sorry i was a bit annoying before.

's quite okay. I like a nice disagreement. Keeps the mind sharp and all that

ok. hope your mind is nicely sharpened.

You bet!

that's good. just be careful not to cut yourself.

I should be fine if I don't pick at it.
