Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Quote

A 1.25" pinback button with a quote from Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," which was a 1978 radio series, a 1979 novel, a 1981 BBC TV series, a 1984 text-based computer game by Infocom, a 2005 film by Garth Jennings, and a fictional book that was the namesake of all of the previous works.

The broad narrative of 'Hitchhiker' follows the misadventures of Arthur Dent, who may be the last human alive following the demolition of the planet Earth by Vogons to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Dent is rescued from Earth's destruction by Ford Prefect, a human-like alien writer for the eccentric, electronic travel guide The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Share and Enjoy was the slogan of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints Division. This phrase had its own song, which was sung by a choir of robots during "special occasions." Memorably, the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is the creator of the Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser, which offers Arthur Dent a drink that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

The phrase ‘Share and Enjoy’ is often found at the end of software release announcements and README files, this phrase indicates allegiance to the hacker ethic of free information sharing.

As a button, this button would look good on your bathrobe, on your towel, or on the headband adorning either of your heads.
