It was the unforeseeable way things fit together that really made the story so damned clever. (Well, that and Adams's careful honing of language, most of which was changed in the script by someone with the same notions of subtlety as a hammer-wielding three-year-old.)
A three-year-old is actually capable of a little more subtlety wielding a hammer than a 19-month-old.
Just sayin'.
(Also, a 3-year-old is better at running around carrying a dustpan without tripping every 3 minutes, but that doesn't have much to do with subtlety.)
I suspect that might depend on whether the dustpan was [originally] full or empty . . .
Empty in both cases this afternoon. Someone just doesn't have as many months' practice at running. :) It was pretty funny, after awhile I was saying that Tommy had to learn not to run in the house -- holding a dustpan.
