"The Somebody Else's Problem field is much simpler……" — Douglas Adams

"The Somebody Else's Problem field is much simpler and more effective, and what's more can be run for over a hundred years on a single torch battery. This is because it relies on people's natural disposition not to see anything they don't want to, weren't expecting, or can't explain."

— Douglas Adams
