    I loved the tagline for the 5th book in the series. It was something like:

    “The fifth in the increasingly inaccurate Hitchhiker’s Guide trilogy”

      “… Increasingly inaccurately named…” was how it was phrased.

      Edit: I also really loved the first few pages of the fifth book. Each line below was on its own page:

      Anything that happens, happens.

      Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.

      Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.

      It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
