"You know, it's at times like this when I'm stuck in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she say?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."
Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
