I posted a question about this on Douglas Adams's forum a while ago, but he never responded. He's not as good about responding as Kevin is. The 2 forums are (were) remarkably similar, however.
Anyway, Douglas told that same cracker/trainstation story during a lecture at a festival of reading that I attended a few years back. He's quite fond of that little number.
Then I saw this short film, which won the oscar for best film, which is basically the same story, except it's with a salad rather than crackers. I asked Douglas who stole from who, but he never responded. The world may never know.
Check the link.
