29-Poet

Havoc

Math Matrix

Arthur Dent & Ford Prefect flee from the destruction of the Earth by escaping onto an enemy spaceship:

“This is your captain speaking, so stop whatever you’re doing and pay attention.

“First of all I see from our instruments that we have a couple of hitchhikers aboard. Hello, wherever you are.

“I just want to make it totally clear that you are not at all welcome. I worked hard to get where I am today, and I didn’t become captain of a Vogon constructor ship simply so I could turn it into a taxi service for a load of degenerate freeloaders. I have sent out a search party, and as soon that they find you I will put you off the ship.

“If you’re very lucky I might read you some of my poetry first.”

    Good night’s sleep on the living room couch. Sipping hot beverage from the coffee table alternating with eye closing and head to pillow inevitable results in dozing off.

          Could be. For me, I think lying on the sofa has less baggage / fewer expectations about “I need to get a good night’s sleep NOW”. So there’s less pressure.
