It is written "Konë" in France - the reason is that if those dots were not there it would be pronounced so that the word means woman's genitals.

This sure looks to me like an e with the ´ on top of it... Anyway, it was a good laugh when I saw it. Like you could not understand it otherwise over there...

I had heard the joke about the stop signs being "Le stop" signs in France.

They seem to use nowadays accent instead of dots.

I saw French-made Kone lifts in Germany and there it was written like Konë.

No, I don't like to drink a lot.

The weekend was ok, a birthday party, and after that just relax

Actually not, if you read through the whole "trilogy". 42 is the answer for the ultimate question for this and that and so on, but not the meaning of life. Knowing the question might help in finding the meaning of life, but if you know the answer, you can't know the question.
And if you know the question, there's no way you could know the answer.
So, even if you knew both the question and the answer, you still would have to think some extra thoughts in order to find the meaning of life.
And I guess it would be something like "Live happily."
Also considering the text which says "Sorry for the inconvenience" I would say the existing of the meaning of life is too improbable even for the improbability drive. I don't know if the bistromatic drive could help, however ;)
