Don’t Panic.The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is seeking journalists to do field research for the New Revised Edition. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in Telepsychic Bluffing, Stating The Obvious, Attracting Attention Away From Power, and Caring For White Mice. Applicants must demonstrate an ability to handle electronic sub-etha signalling devices, be prepared to work in areas of low probability, and have own towel. Do not apply if you are allergic to not hearing Vogon poetry, have a Genuine People Personality, or are a whale. Please note that final candidate selection will be made through on-the-job training and peer review. No guarantee of candidate safety is offered, and no recompense will be made to family members, pets, or loved ones of candidates who should unfortunately find themselves deceased, evaporated, or otherwise removed from existence as a result of this training program.

"Oh no, not again."
(For those unfamiliar with the Hitchhiker's guide: yes I signed up just now. The offer did not say anything about being a bowl of petunias.)

I have a specialty in Stating the Obvious. Wrong, sometimes, maybe, but obvious.
I'm in.

I'm in. Hope we get to visit the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I have plenty of expertise in stating the obvious and attracting attention away from power. Just ask Ford. |

Don't Panic.
Brave candidates. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy thanks you for your applications. Your paperwork is being processed by a tree that carries no bitterness for the fact that some of you wrote on shreds of what used to be his grandmother. A fine and noble spruce she was.
HGTTG wishes to advise that applications will remain open for a further four days, as it is assumed that a number of you will not have sufficient strength of character and life force to survive the training program. Our company is able to sell off relatively intact bodies to the Dalantian Fungal Military, who use them for fertiliser out of which they sprout new members of their Armed Forces, for a hefty sum. As a result, we intend to allow time to accept the maximum number of entrants.

Don't Panic.
Dear foolhardy applicants.
HGTTG recommends that no further applications are submitted. Doing so from this point onwards will not put your name in the running for a journalistic degree, but will instead put you in the running for running the Intergalactic Planetary Ultra Super Extreme Space Marathon, which lasts for the next 14 years and traverses approximately 16 million kilometres of lonely emptiness.
The first round of training programs will begin soon. Your instructions will be mailed to you by courier space pigeons. Please keep your cats indoors.

The great part in all this is that I'm still finding the references humourous, even though I haven't read HGTTG yet.

Then you will find it downright hilarious, Elite, when we bulldoze your house on Day 1. |
