Arthur Dent:  "You know, it's at times like this, when I'm stuck in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
Ford Prefect: "Why? What did she tell you?"
Arthur Dent:  "I don't know! I didn't listen!"

Arty I think you have started something, I thought you hit every nail on the head, my mum died when I was 2 but my grandmother who looked after me told me that " the truth can be blamed but never shamed" & #2 "Now that you have finished your fairy story, tell me the truth". She was a woman of great wisdom, she had 16 kids of her own, she needed it. Mick B.
