Description

Just in case you’re confused: Trixie was eating that pony’s crackers the whole time. She didn’t notice that she had forgotten to take out her own packet.

All in all, the guy’s actually pretty sweet. Some strange mare just plops down and starts eating your food? Shrug and share it with her.

I’ve seen this same joke (if you can call it that) done in at least 3 different stories/books; this makes 4.
 
I’m not complaining but merely stating an observation.

I for one know I have done things similair to this, thought someone stole something of mine only to find it was a duplicate.
 
The only time I can think of though right off the top of my head was when I was in college and I thought someone moved my snow gloves from “my spot” at a table and could have caused them to get lost so I shoved them in my back pack. Later someone was going all around that room looking for their gloves, I looked in my back pack and found both pairs.

It is also a very VERY old urban story. The identity of the “perpetrator” is adjusted depending on the era and the location - it may be a bum, a black guy, a punk, etc. That does not mean it could not happen to Adams too - I’m sure it did - but the story itself goes back way longer.

Douglas Adams wrote that scene based on something that actually happened to him once, involving a package of biscuits (US: “cookies”). His biscuits were under his newspaper but he didn’t realize it, and so kept eating the biscuits in front of him, which actually belonged to the random stranger sitting across from him. It was only after the stranger left that he saw what had happened, and immediately decided to immortalize it in So Long & Thanks for All the Fish.

Whoops! Well Trixie just remember this is sometimes what happens when we “ass,u,me” things.
 
Perhaps you can still get his number?
