This reminds me of the scene in Douglas Adams's So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish in
which the heroes go to visit a famous recluse, who has built himself a house that is
inside out - all the furniture is outdoors and the garden is inside. When they ask him
about it, he explains that the entire world is a mental asylum, and he and his wife live
outside it. He further says that he realised the entire world was insane upon reading
instructions on a package of dental floss.
Sad to think that this is yet another thing that Adams didn't make up.
