Having heard this shocker in Eric

"Don't you know the classics?" "That isn't one of those Horse Races we're supposed to remember is it?"
I thought we needed a sort of opposite to the favourite quotes thread to share them o_O

I don't have the book on hand, but in Wee Free Men Tiffany comments to the toad that he's looking rather yellow for a toad. He replies that he hasn't been well.

He's [wait for it] a yellow sick toad and Tiffany has been told to follow his advice. :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: Oh I've read that one in italian, they must have changed it because the two words so similar in English are very very different in italian, so I missed the ( o_O: ) joke

Sadly that's the kind of humour that can't work in translation when it relies on words sounding similar or having multiple unrelated meanings :(

In Guards! Guards! Vimes refers to the coffee that Harga serves him as: "love in a canoe". It took me a while to get that one, but I thought it was very funny when I did. :laugh:
