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

The people of the country called Yookay on the edge of the continent called Your Up have a strange ritual of the seven thankyous for a bus ticket.

The ritual goes as follows:
Bus conductor on reaching the upper deck says "Thank you!"
Meaning: does everyone have a bus ticket on this deck?
Passenger without ticket replies "Thank you" and holds up hand.
Meaning: I have no ticket.
Conductor says, "Thank you,"
Meaning: I have espied you and will process your request."
Conductor says "Thank you" as he takes the money
Meaning: you have proferred more than enough money for the transaction
Passenger says "Thank you"
Meaning: I see you have taken my money and I would like change please.
Conductor gives ticket and says "Thank you"
Meaning: take this quickly while I look in my bag for the change you require.
Passenger receives change and says "Thank you."
Meaning: Good you have given me the right change and now I can carry on reading my book.

Isn't there a last thank you from the passenger next to the one with out the ticket? A thank you to the conductor for finishing the transaction and going about his business, thus stopping his leaning over said passengers seat.

No

Thank you for both being such nice people and behaving so well on my forum!

Aah, that was so sweet of you, Vestie! Almost made me burst in to tears and go out and be nice to birds and ants.

Aww Vestie...thanks for appreciating

Thank you Duke. But I think you forgot the magic words on that last posting, didn't you? The T Y words.

It was my intention to bring our thankfulness to the next level, where we start weeping and do all sorts of good things to others. More of prctise than of words, if you will. Is that not a good thing? I would be thankful for an answer.

Thank you Duke! I'm delighted that you would want to take thanks to the absolute peak. Keep at it. And thank you again.

A special thank you to Spartus of h2g2 for answering my wish list entry within nano seconds and promising me the earth.
Thank you Spartus.

I do what I can. I would've gone and asked Jim myself about the goo thing, but I had to run out and I've only just gotten home.
