Hey gang, got a question/request for ya.
I am currently engrossed in Terry Pratchet's novel Going Postal, and it was just a couple of lines in the fantastic tome that got me chuckling today.
If you haven't read the book, It is (without giving anything away) about a reprieved con-man who is forced run the city's long dead post office.
Anyway, Moist Von-Lipwig (the protagonist), as you might expect from a con-man, soon uses his cunning & guile to the benefit of his new employ.
This is a line from quite near the end of the novel:
He went round the back of the Post Office, and was about to slip inside when a figure in the shadow said, 'Pissed!'
'I suspect you mean Psst?' said Moist.
This is just one of many funny lines & exchanges throughout, & it brought to mind other quips, lines & interactions from books, films, TV etc.
Like Gary Oldman's character Drexel in the movie True Romance. Drexel turns to Clarence Hurly (Christian Slater) & famously says:
'Now I know I'm pretty. But I ain't as pretty as a couple'a titties!'
Does anyone else remember any funny lines or exchanges they have watched, read or heard?
