That is pretty funny.

Really, I was thinking people would mention some of the "classic" one-liners from /Issola/, such as:

"I'm generalizing from one example here, but everyone generalizes from one example. At least I do."

or

Teldra: "Perhaps I should begin at the beginning."
Vlad: "Arbitrary. But still, not a bad choice."

There's another one that sticks in my memory from /Yendi/ (in an exchange with Kragar):

"Good idea boss."
"That's what I pay myself for."
