Surely you heard it a zillion times on the CB ?
Keep on truckin' brother - your services are HIGHLY valued!
On a semi-related (pun intended!) note, a few years after the relationships ended, I realized that my first two girlfriends were both truck driver's daughters.
Oh, once or twice.
Got about 3-4 days to make up their mind.
This model predicts the last day each state can act before the point of no return

42 is considered an important number that has ties to everything in the universe. It relates to the bible, mathematics, engineering, science, religion, sports, astronomy, and life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)
42 (number) - Wikipedia
One example, there are 42 US gallons in a barrel of oil which keeps the trucks rolling. Ever wonder why 42?
The number 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
In the advert, it’s a signal to buy that product. Mysticism was often used in marketing products. Proctor and Gamble new moon logo, even their modern one, has always brought on controversy.
Getting back to the advertisement. Why would the BBC run an ad telling people to drink tea while listening? The BBC never shies away from the subject of mysticism in their presentations. Tea has always been associated with mysticism, reading tea leaves, psychic tea houses.
Tea factors in. What a coincidence then that one of the finest blends of Earl Grey on the planet in general and in the UK in particular is Harrods' Earl Grey, Blend No. ...42.
OK, but my guess is easier to remember.
ETA: Got about 1/2 way through the Wiki and gave up. You know, busy day and all that (NOT!).

Here's a Sunday morning feel-good picture for you old folks. This bird came in to the shelter two weeks ago...she's settling in nicely. In this pic, she's digging into a walnut from a 50 pound load donated by one of the online parrot support groups.
Any of you who're suffering from boredom are welcome to go do an online tour of our shelter at Building

I'm wit you, Goner. Much easier to remember. Guess I'm just not "one of the beautiful .. people, tuned to a nat-u-ral E¹-E-E-E-E (~42hz), happy to be that way . . . . "

I wasn't bored, but curious. And now I'm quite impressed! mike, your shelter is amazing! What a wonderful thing you're doing for these magnificent creatures.
Just one question: which birds play the Martin?.

Mostly the macaws. They really like that Caribbean Soul (god! I'm tired of Margaritaville). The cockatoos want Strats and ESPs and such...major headbangers...I was going to get them one of those $17.99 ones on eBay, but.... Most of the amazons are opera fans, which I can't stand. They all want to be tenors...not a damned baritone in the bunch.
...oh, and the eclectus is a crew guy...supplies partial capoing when needed.
