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

Does this sound familiar to you: One sets out to solve a simple task in one's house and goes looking for the necessary tools. But in doing so, one suddenly finds an even bigger problem that needs to be solved here and now.

In this case, black mold which is hazardous. In particular if you already have problems with asthma and sleep apnea.

Luckily the problem seems limited to a minor area on the inside of a cold facade which was actually insulated quite recently, so once I'm done killing and removing the fungus with a disinfectant I should be okay.

And then I can continue with - what was it I was going to do again?

You were going to rewrite your will, making me your sole beneficiary.

Be careful what you wish for. I'll leave nothing but debts

In that case, you can leave those to Donald Trump or Boris Johnson.

Good idea

Boris Johnson has just become a father again.

So maybe don't inflict debts on him.

And we all know Donald Trump has absolutely no problem with massive amounts of debt. He just stiffs his contractors and workers, and gets Deutsche Bank to give him even bigger, unsecured loans.

I was, of course, kidding about asking Pierce to change his will.

Take it easy, froods. The way stuff like this is handled here, I don't even have to write my last will at all - or change it. My three children will share everything I leave equally. Provided they actually want that

And : They will be given to know exactly how much I owe before they have to make their decision

Is there something rotten in Denmark, or is the funeral parlor window open?

Funny you should say that. I'm busy cleaning my house off black mould which could have meant an untimely death

Seeking a friend for the end of the world.

ALL problems can be sorted out eventually OR! Buy a sledgehammer, I nearly did

The trick is getting themsolved while you're alive to enjoy the solutions.

I'll be back after MY death I want to see what folk say about me

Will you be insulted if they say nothing abut you>

Nah! If "they" owe me money ? I'm screwed

if I owe them money come and collect it...

We are all indebted to you for having started the pun thread.

Yeah, just put it on the tab
