Summary: Instructions for the End of the World

The Guide has the following instructions regarding The End of the World:


  • Don’t Panic!

  • Collect your towel

  • Consider finding a spare towel in case of emergencies

  • Relax, you could be listening to Vogon poetry

  • Watch your life as it flashes past your eyes



This was all the earlier versions of The Guide had to say.  In later versions it was amended to the following:


  • Don’t Panic!

  • Switch off and switch on again

  • If this does not work dial 0011 **79 *38* 424242

  • Select #01 if End of the world imminent; #02 for all other states

  • Wait approximately 29.25 minutes to be connected to an operator

  • Watch your life as it flashes past your eyes

YAY! YOU WROTE IT!

*giggles* I love it! I think the first version is more practical though. If you have your towel, what can possibly go wrong? ;)

You're welcome! It was just such a brilliant idea, it needed to be written!

"Wait approximately 29.25 minutes to be connected to an operator"--while listening to Vogon poetry on a loop, of course.

Naturally. Interrupted at regular intervals by a tinny voice saying "Your call is important to us."

Brilliant. I like the bit about turning it off and on again like it's a stubborn electronic.
