The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, written by the late Adams Douglas Adams
(sic)
========
The Hitch-Hikers guide (first electronic edition) details the
Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as a company that built everything up to and including Nutrimat (vending) machines (some of which, when asked to serve a nice steaming cup of tea, produced instead something that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea). These machines which would then say in hushed soothing tones 'Share and Enjoy' as you either drank your beverage, argued with the machine, kicked the machine to a state of non-functionality or committed suicide (whichever was easier and more satisfying at the time).
The guide goes on to further say that the Complaints Division (an extraordinary large part of the corporation) had a song called 'Share and enjoy':
Quote:
Share and Enjoy, Share and Enjoy,
Journey through life with a plastic boy
Or girl by your side, let your pal be your guide,
And when it breaks down or starts to annoy,
Or grinds when it moves and gives you no joy
'Cos it's eaten your hat or had sex with your cat,
Bled oil on your floor or ripped off your door,
And you get to the point you can't stand any more,
Bring it to us, we won't give a fig. We'll tell you
'Go stick your head in a Pig'

In it's final remarks about the company, the guide concluded that there are those who feel that the Chief Executives should be the first against the wall when the revolution eventually comes.
Curiously, a later edition of the Hitch-Hikers guide that fell through a temporal hole in the space-time continuum had an addendum that stated that 'The Chief Executives were the first against the wall when the revolution came'.

To those who know of (and love) it, H2G2 is a sort of a mantra for life
