Algol’s pretty neat,
Betelgeuse’s pretty girls
Will knock you off your feet.

But if you have to take me apart to get me there
Then I don’t want to go.

Take me apart, take me apart,
What a way to roam
And if you have to take me apart to get me there
I’d rather stay at home.
— Douglas Adams, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”
