Anyone who can't laugh at himself is taking life far too seriously.

Or something like that, at any rate.

Arthur: What would happen if I pushed this button.
Ford: I wouldn't...
Arthur (pushes) Oh.
Ford: What happened?
Arthur: A black sign lit up with black lettering that says, "Please don't push this button again."
