I've just had an entry removed from PR, about ballpoint pens. Now DD assures me that there is an extremely funny bit about the planet byro where all the pens go to. I just cant find it. Does anyone have it to hand??? Anyone???

I was quoting it to hubby last week, whoi claimed it didn't exist. It's in a zaphod bit, definitely in 1,2 or 3, most likely 3 I'd guess. It's about how pens are another form of life (biroid) who live in a different dimension, and someone manages to get throught there and comes back and writes a book about how he worked as a chauffeur for a family of cheap, green retractables...

Sorry can't help more right now smiley - smiley
