So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish ‧ 1984
“I was being perfectly serious,” said Arthur. “It’s just the Universe I’m never quite sure about.”
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Arthur insists he was completely serious; his doubt is about the Universe, not about his own sincerity. The joke is the absurd scale of his uncertainty, treating the entire cosmos as the one thing he can't take at face value.
