** Wonko the Sane believes this about the rest of Earth, which is why he built an inside-out Asylum for it. His self-assured perspective that everyone outside is crazy and inside is sane parallels Arthur's perspective about the rest of the Galaxy aside from Earth. Yet throughout "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish", in England and California the same craziness is demonstrated and [[Lampshaded]] by the natives; just like the rest of the Galaxy.

* In ''[[The Navy Lark]]'', Potarneyland qualifies.
