How About A Cup Of The Answer To Everything?

Reiner Schulz writes "Douglas Adams admittedly was a big fan of Earl Grey tea. Here's his enlightening entry in H2G2 on the subject (pretty much straight out of The Salmon of Doubt). And those familiar w/ the Hitchhiker's Guide will remember the drink dispenser from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe which, trying to figure out how to brew the perfect cuppa, grabs all available computing resources on board a certain starship. What a coincidence then that one of the finest blends of Earl Grey on the planet in general and in the UK in particular is Harrods' Earl Grey, Blend No. ... 42 . It's a plausible theory as to the origin of the answer to everything, isn't it? Earl Grey addicts like myself will certainly agree (even though Douglas liked his w/ milk; I prefer lemon). So, what would be the question? Perhaps, how about a nice cup of tea?"

    No, he was a WWF wrestler.

    They hadnt yet resolved that retarded lawsuit with the hippies.

    Did anyone ever confuse pro wrestling with environmentalism? They (the Wildlife Fund) spent millions of donation money fighting that battle. I dont think that's what the donors had in mind when they opened their pocketbooks.

    But that's another story.

    " Try putting milk and sugar in your wine, and tell me how that tastes."

    Actually, it helps if you freeze the wine to a slushy consistency, then put it in the blender. Nothing like a wineshake on a hot day.

    YEs, i truly am an uncultured barbarian.
