2The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyLiteratureBooks

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
"The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a powerful organ. Indeed, its influence is so prodigious that strict rules have had to be drawn up by its editorial staff to prevent its misuse. So none of its field researchers are allowed to accept any kind of services, discounts or preferential treatment of any kind in return for editorial favours unless: a. they have made a bona fide attempt to pay for a service in the normal way, b. their lives would be otherwise in danger, c. they really want to. Since invoking the third rule always involved giving the editor a cut, Ford always preferred to much about with the first two."

Mid-Galactic Census
Government report. "Of course, one never has the slightest notion what size or shape different species are going to turn out to be, but if you were to take the findings of the latest Mid-Galactic Census report as any kind of accurate guide to statistical averages you would probably guess that the craft would hold about six people, and you would be right."

Ol' Janx Spirit
"He sat on a step, took from his satchel a bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit and a towel. He opened the bottle and wiped the top of it with the towel, which had the opposite effect to the one intended, in that the Ol' Janx Spirit instantly killed of f millions of the germs which had been slowly building up quite a complex and enlightened civilization on the smellier patches of the towel."
