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

Honestly! Been sitting at my desk (I said 'sitting) all day and nobody visits my shores. Finally let one go and no fewer than 3 office colleagues come over to ask me a question/escape other office colleagues

I think there's a law for that, and it ain't Murphy's

This is without doubt the best and most relevant conversation I've seen in a while!

Perhaps you should tactically fart, the next time you have some work to delegate

Could it b that, although no one will admit it, some people like the odor?

Or they like to have something to hold over your head?

(The worst possible time to fart is when you're in a long checkout line at the market, and you fart. That, of course, is when you *do* .)

No.... it's in the gym just as you're straining to lift that really big weight

Nothing like letting rip at that moment to take the wind out of your sails

I suspect pheromones.

It must be me though. Same thing happens when I'm in a shop. The aisle is deserted. Parp! The aisle is full of shoppers

"Parp!"

That has happened to me as well, though it is very short-lived. Other people soon vanish.

According to Otis’s Law, in the equivalent scenario, the lift will stop before your intended floor and a large group of people will enter..

Long time no see, Icy.

Hi Paul - yes, I pop in occasionally when someone dies (Deathlist), but I’m mostly on Facebook these days.
