In the 28th April issue of New Scientist, there's a Tom Gauld cartoon.

The space probe begins its journey to the furthest reaches of the Universe.

The scientist is particularly proud of the poem that lies within: a paean to the magic of Earth, Life and the Cosmos, commissioned from a great poet and placed within the craft by the scientist herself in the hope that it might, one day, be read by another life form.

The dry cleaner says that he is moved by the beautiful words, but would prefer the receipt for the scientist's clothes.

Had me in stitches - given our oh-so-human fallibility it could so happen!
