Mr.
L.
Prosser
was
,
as
they
say
,
only
human
.
In
other
words
he
was
a
carbon-based
life
form
descended
from
an
ape
.
More
specifically
he
was
forty
,
fat
and
shabby
and
worked
for
the
local
council
.
Curiously
enough
,
though
he
did
n't
know
it
,
he
was
also
a
direct
male-line
descendant
of
Genghis
Khan
,
though
intervening
generations
and
racial
mixing
had
so
juggled
his
genes
that
he
had
no
discernible
Mongoloid
characteristics
,
and
the
only
vestiges
left
in
Mr.
L
Prosser
of
his
mighty
ancestry
were
a
pronounced
stoutness
about
the
tum
and
a
predilection
for
little
fur
hats
.
92
He
was
by
no
means
a
great
warrior
:
in
fact
he
was
a
nervous
worried
man
.
Today
he
was
particularly
nervous
and
worried
because
something
had
gone
seriously
wrong
with
his
job
--
which
was
to
see
that
Arthur
Dent
's
house
got
cleared
out
of
the
way
before
the
day
was
out
.
93
"
Come
off
it
,
Mr.
Dent
,
"
,
he
said
,
"
you
ca
n't
win
you
know
.
You
ca
n't
lie
in
front
of
the
bulldozer
indefinitely
.
"
He
tried
to
make
his
eyes
blaze
fiercely
but
they
just
would
n't
do
it
.

Arthur
lay
in
the
mud
and
squelched
at
him
.
95
"
I
'm
game
,
"
he
said
,
"
we
'll
see
who
rusts
first
.
"
96
"
I
'm
afraid
you
're
going
to
have
to
accept
it
,
"
said
Mr.
Prosser
gripping
his
fur
hat
and
rolling
it
round
the
top
of
his
head
,
"
this
bypass
has
got
to
be
built
and
it
's
going
to
be
built
!
"
97
"
First
I
've
heard
of
it
,
"
said
Arthur
,
"
why
's
it
going
to
be
built
?

Mr.
Prosser
shook
his
finger
at
him
for
a
bit
,
then
stopped
and
put
it
away
again
.
99
"
What
do
you
mean
,
why
's
it
got
to
be
built
?
"
he
said
.
"
It
's
a
bypass
.
You
've
got
to
build
bypasses
.

Bypasses
are
devices
which
allow
some
people
to
drive
from
point
A
to
point
B
very
fast
whilst
other
people
dash
from
point
B
to
point
A
very
fast
.
People
living
at
point
C
,
being
a
point
directly
in
between
,
are
often
given
to
wonder
what
's
so
great
about
point
A
that
so
many
people
of
point
B
are
so
keen
to
get
there
,
and
what
's
so
great
about
point
B
that
so
many
people
of
point
A
are
so
keen
to
get
there
.
They
often
wish
that
people
would
just
once
and
for
all
work
out
where
the
hell
they
wanted
to
be
.
