Hehe, reminds me of the John 'Wonko the Sane' Watson character in the Hitchhickers series.
Lifted from a website:
After reading the instructions on the back of a box of toothpicks he decided the world was insane and built an asylum to put it in. His asylum was basically an inside-out house. He lived on the outside (inside) with his wife, Arcane Jill Watson, because they were sane. The rest of the world lived on the inside (outside) because they were not.
In the book there is mention of a plaque mounted over the door to the outside(to the asylum) that reads:
Hold stick near centre of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion.
I'd be surprised if Douglas Adams didn't actually read that on a box of toothpicks...
