Any resemblance to you know who is deliberate!
From The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Mr Prosser: “You were quite entitled to make any suggestions or protests at the appropriate time, you know?”
Arthur: “Appropriate time? The first I knew about it was when a workman arrived at my home yesterday.”
Mr Prosser: “But Mr. Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.”
Arthur: “Oh yes, well, as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything?”
Mr. Prosser: “But the plans were on display…”
Arthur: “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
Mr Prosser: “That’s the display department.”
Arthur: “With a flashlight.”
Mr Prosser: “Ah, well the lights had probably gone.”
Arthur: “So had the stairs.”
Mr Prosser: “But look, you found the notice didn’t you?”
Arthur: “[Y]es I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard.”
