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

How many questions beginning with how or why is it possible to be asked while stopping to drop off a passenger?
63.
That's how many.
I counted.
She can't have been more than 10, but what a great interest in life she has. The world needs more kids like that.

I especially liked the question "Why are you a cool taxi driver?"

So why are you a cool taxi driver?

I don't know, I just said cos that's the way I am. I didn't even know I was a cool cabbie til then. Normally only drunk people say stuff like that.

Well I think it's terrible, getting little girls drunk like that.

I said normally only drunk people. She wasn't drunk. Well, I don't think she was drunk. I don't think she could have talked so fast at me if she had been drinking.

That's okay then.

I wouldn't waste alcohol on a child!

You could always lick it off them afterwards!

erm, licking children isn't really my thing. Now, if it was a fully grown consenting adult, it might be a different story. In fact, I know, it would be a different story.

*looks puzzled*
I'm not advocating that you pour alcohol onto small children, that would be absurd.

Of course, when I have a perfectly good bloodstream waiting to be diluted.

Enough waiting.

~goes to pub for lunch~

That's the spirit.

~still waiting for a lift~


~taps foot, looks at watch~

~lift arrives, leaves~

*waves*

I'm back now.

Only 4 hours before I can go to a different pub.

Hello again.
Did you get my text message? My battery died while it was transmitting.

No I didn't, I just thought you didn't love me and were ignoring me, so I emailed you instead as you obv need updating about my situation.

What did you say?

Awwwww, sorry honey. *hug*
I said much the same as I said in my reply to your e-mail, but in less characters.
Useless phone. It only transmits messages if I point it at the window, even if the signal meter is stronger pointing in another direction.
