A dramatic performance of chapter 31 from Douglas Adams' fourth book in the ever increasingly improperly named Hitchhiker Trilogy, "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish"
Wonko the sane is a fictional character in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, having been played by Christian Slater in the original BBC radio play production during fit the twenty-first of the "Quandary Phase", and later appearing in "So Long and Thanks for All the fish"
He lives alone on a beach in California in a fairly peculiar house with a fairly peculiar understanding of the reality of the universe. He spends his time waiting for the end of the Earth, failing to realize that it has already come and gone.
As a marine biologist, he studied dolphins for most of his life, and spends most of his time these days lamenting the disappearance of his flippered friends.
In this reading, he is visited by Arthur Dent and Fenchurch, whom Arthur is hopelessly in love with. They discuss the The Lajestic Vantrasheel of Lob, the loss of the dolphins, and the process of proper toothpick use.
Wonko is one of those wonderful characters who is everything he believes himself to be, even though that is quite the opposite of what everyone perceives him to be. Out of all of the characters that Douglas Adams ever dreamed up, it's a close running, in this writer's opinion which is the more epic; Wonko, or the true ruler of the galaxy... but I shall leave that chapter for another day.
