How to
spot a strag:
- Strags own their own vehicles.
- Strags do not carry towels.
- Strags will likely have a copy of Encyclopædia Galactica.
- Strags will likely have things to "lend" you in
case you "lose" something vital.
- And most importantly: under stress, strags WILL panic.
Hitchhiker 1: Here comes a strag, get the black thumb out.
Hitchhiker
2: Hey, can we get a
ride?
Strag: Sure, I'm headed to Magrathea. Neat towel by the
way.
Hitchhiker 2: I um..."lost" my kill-o-zap. Can I "borrow" yours?
Strag: Of course!
