I don't have the book in front of me, and last time I read Douglas was about 5 months ago. Therefore sorry for unspecific details.
I liked the epsiode where Ford and Arthur ended up on the ship full of stylists, sales people, and other people that we all have problems with everyday. The captian, the man who was taking a bath for the last some-hundred years, crashlanded the ship on prehistoric earth. As we later find out, these new comers actualy destroyed the original population of earth and left no chance of finding out the meaning of the Great Answer to the Great Question.

The best bit of that plot is that the planet that got rid of them all - all the "useless" people like telephone sanitisers - were later wiped out by a particularly nasty disease spread by dirty telephones! Sheer, 
, hilarious, genius!
And you have to remember that it also included management consultants - which particularly tickles me, because my dad's one of those!
