ASK AMY #6: 42?

Dear Amy,
            My friends keep joking around, constantly laugh, and use the number 42. I’m so confused!! Everytime I ask if they repeat that number on purpose, they just giggle, and say it some more. I feel left out, and very confuzzled. I mean, it could be an inside joke, but sometimes random people, that I know haven’t met my friends, laugh along too when they hear that specific number. Whats with all the 42’s?!?
                                                      With all my confusion,
                                                                         42.
   Hiya 42!
      DON'T PANIC. The solution to your problem is quite simple, just read “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy” By Adam Douglas. Or you could just watch the film, but, the book is always better!! :)
                                        Over and Out, Amy
