Douglas Adams was wrong

We were watching the CBS Evening News tonight as we do every Sunday since “60 Minutes” comes on directly afterwards. For a while now the news program has had ads for products I’d expect to see on late night infomercials rather than on the prime-time news show. For example, the Ab Circle Pro, the Buxton Bag Organizer, the Wonder Hanger, and other such junk. Anyway, I’ve come to a conclusion: Douglas Adams was wrong. 42 is not the number assigned to the meaning of life.
$19.95 is.

  1. Billy Mays {RIP} hated having to price things at $19.95. As far as he was concerned, if it cost more than $9.95 it was too damn expensive. The world is a worse place without Billy.
