Until there were more. I don't know if Douglas Adams was joking when, as I think I was told, he said on BBC radio's "Book Club", that to get the first book published they told him to just stop wherever he was in the story. It was based on the radio scripts of course, but jumbled up, I think. The third book involves material that has also been released as _Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen_, and an interview with the AI computer that reminds me of another "Doctor Who" story, "The Face of Evil".

For more reasons than one, I should think. Though any one would be
sufficient.

I've worked in enough places with public restrooms to assure that
both genders are equally capable of shitting in the trash can
instead of the toilet.
Apparently, at a clothing store, one is grateful if they shit in
the *bathroom* at all, rather than a changing room. Or the middle
of an aisle.

Did the little shit(er) draw pictures in it? Did Mummy take photos
with her phone so she could hang up the artwork on the refrigerator?

I don't think allowing a three-foot-long thread on the side of a bathroom stall to accumulate over a period of months indicates a preferential desire to keep the ladies' rooms extra clean. You have to remember, the only times I've ever been in a men's room are when the local SCA branch holds an event in a Boy Scout facility in El Cerrito. Quite aside from the fact that females have to sit down for both functions, there have always been a great number of ladies who want to get into somewhere private in order to change clothes. So from time to time we'd get one of the gentlemen to check the men's room out, report it to be currently uninhabited, and let a few ladies inside to get dressed while he chivalrously stood guard at the door. I don't recall ever seeing *any* graffiti in either facility. > -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com

Also most certainly.
I'm told Weber has since gotten much better on the stream-of-
consiousness wordiness, but a) it wasn't *that* interesting to begin
with and b) fool me once, shame on you . . .

On the subject of slander, Quadibloc just implied Ringo is in an incestuous marriage with his daughter. Fitting for the thread, I suppose. -- Juho Julkunen
