# in one of the hitchhikers books...
Arthur Dent is at a bus station at a table when the man opposite starts eating Arthur's kit kat. Arthur defiantly begins to eat the kit kat himself in a silent war with the man before finding his own kit kat under his paper. It was the other mans kit kat all along.

My question is this.

How many people have told you this story as if it happened to them. I have had 3 people tell me this happened to them.

# You are indeed correct
it's biscuits - I seem to remembers Douglas saying in a interview that this happened to him

# But, but, but
Bill Bryson said it happened to him in "Notes from a Small Island"!

If they say kit-kat then maybe there's a kit-kat thief operating in your area.

# I was told this as an anecdote in chapel by some stupid woman trying to make us believe in Jesus.
Further contributing to my lack of trust in christians.

# yeah, but wasn't she eating fish...
... and then she realised that it wasn't from the son of God but that she was stealing a tramp's Filliet-O-Fish

# You know...
I never got that they were the other man's biscuits all along. I did read it when I was 12 so I might have been a bit dense, but all along I thought it was some kind of magic trick of the stranger's.

Ooh err.
