Even if he could figure out how to do fractions of a push-up each day, he’s still be up to just under 17 1/2 per day.
Wouldn’t it have made more sense — and not harmed the jokes at all — to start with one push-up a day and add on each day?
Or alternately, to start with one and double it each day until he (theoretically) ends up with something like 500 million a day?
(You know, something like this site’s current statistics, or the price of a loaf of bread in 1923 Germany?)
Okay, the way I see it, this only works if every reader knows who Zaphod Beeblebrox is but Marla does not.

I’m getting flashbacks from this one…
Back in the early days of Yelp — it might not even have been called Yelp yet, or maybe it was just something Yelplike –nine of us were wandering around looking for someplace to eat. My brother checked his phone and said “There’s a Chinese restaurant couple of blocks form here.”
“Okay, that’s good.”
“Well, it has bad reviews.”
“Then let’s skip it.”
“Let’s give it a chance,” he says, using classic Sergio Bermudez logic.
We hit Satan’s Trifecta: unbelievably bad food, rude and terrible service, and the place wasn’t very clean.
(But my sister-in-law insisted we leave a big tip, because that’s who she is)
Last summer, intersection of 23rd and 6th, a Russian cabbie and an Arabic cabbie, outside of their vehicles (which were blocking said intersection), screaming obscenities at one another in their native languages.
I had the feeling neither of them needed Google Translate.
