As the automatic doors on the Starship Heart of Gold would say, "Glad

Augh, that sounds familiar, but I can't place it.  What's it from?

It's from _The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy_... The Cybernetic systems of
the starship Heart of Gold were developed with the new "GPP" system (Genuine
People Personalities).  The doors have a desire to open for you and it is
their pleassure to close again with the knowledge of a job well done ;-)

"Please enjoy your trip though this door..."

"...Thank you!"

Ah, yes, that's what I guessed, but I wasn't sure.  I'll have to reread the
5-book trilogy sometime.
