God, I really dislike characters like Anomander Rake. Everyone stops and holds their breaths in anticipation of his actions; everything he does has significant ramifications for society.
Even his farts.

'Yes, all those things!'
'In the company of a true warrior of a man, wearing nothing but rags and yet freshly scarred and scabbed from head to toe?'

"One day, I fear, our world will be inundated with a multitude of people with little to say, but all the time in the world in which to say it.

Three husbands are chasing their runaway wife.

"Now, about that cooking..." - one of the husbands casually continues, while dusting what's left of his clothes...

OK, let's try and do some actual progress today!
