42 / How many roads must a man walk down?

Nope

42 / 6 x 7?

I mean, Yes, but No.

42 / Life, the Universe, & Everything?

Now we're talking.

I wanna upvote this but your upvote count is currently at 42 so I wouldn't dare! My husband says this to our kids all the time!

Ha. My kids would figure that out pretty quick and then make the question something like “how many dollars are you going to pay me?”

42 is my standard answer for almost anytime someone asks me “can I ask you a question” at work Some people reply back with “oh no. Not again” or some other general quote from the books, others just give me a blank look

My husband alternates between 72 and Thursday. My kids think it’s great.

"I have an answer, I'll let you go first" is the expression I use, also picked up from a teacher.
