the Kill-O-Zap, as described in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat
about the bush. "Make it evil," he'd been told. "Make it totally
clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it
totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are
going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of
spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it.
This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking
in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making
people miserable with."
Ford and Arthur looked at the gun unhappily. |
