The other day, I commented on a certain line of dialog to someone who had just read this book, and got a blank stare. Apparently, like the Manual, different people's copies have different contents :-)
Here's what appears in the "Support Your Local Wizard" omnibus hardcover, that isn't in the current paperbacks or the 20th anniversary edition:
(After Fred asks about the cars crawling into a pile after they died)
Anyone know the story behind how this dialog got into some editions and not others? Any other differences people know of?

(After Fred asks about the cars crawling into a pile after they died)
(What was that? There are three -- I don't know who those were, but they have them shut up in a box hanging from that long thing.)
(No one you know, Fred. That was a traffic light.)
(It was emitting-- Look, he's trying to say something! Hello! Hello!)
(Fred, you're flashing! Calm down or someone'll see you!)
(Well, I don't know what a nice guy like him was doing in a place like that.)
