The "DON'T PANIC" motif is cause Christie got really sick of his people panicking with statements like "We're gonna need a bigger suit/limo/plane/train/ad/campaign" several times a day.

Do have a box of Kleenex handy too, because you'll need to keep wiping away the tears of laughter. At least I did, anyway.

And a small paper sack to breathe into after you hyperventilate from laughing continuously for the past half hour. Again, this comes from experience.

A soft mat to fall onto when you absolutely cannot take it anymore and have to put the book down in order to roll around on the floor while clutching your sides to keep from exploding. Yup.

Absolutely none of this is any exaggeration -- it really is that funny. Drop us a line after they let you back out of the straightjacket. I avoided this last consequence, but just barely. I still don't know why.

And more than ten since I had one with a collar.

I believe it says "don't picnic."

No, he's the one who went on at length about how it felt to be alive, and what words could be used for various new and exciting things, before he ends up splatting onto the surface of Magrathea.
