My Insides Are Blue Liquid And Vague Answers

sir, i love them

Take Jingo for instance. Off the top of my head I can think of three specific jokes that, without fail, make me laugh out loud EVERY SINGLE TIME I read them. (And let me tell you, at this point that's a lot of times.)

I mean come on:

"It puts me in mind," said Leonard, "of those nautical stories about giant turtles that sleep on the surface, thus causing sailors to think they are an island. Of course, you don't get giant turtles that small."

Or:

"Propulsion was a major headache, I'm afraid," said Leonard, climbing up a step ladder. "I thought of paddles and oars, or even some kind of screw, and then I thought: dolphins, that's the ticket! They move extremely fast with barely an effort. That's out at sea of course, we only get the shovel-nosed dolphin in our estuary here."

Or:

He was in the immediate company of a man even the Assassin's Guild was frightened of, another man who would stay up all night in order to invent an alarm clock to wake him up in the morning, and a man who had never knowingly changed his underwear.

That last one just kills me. It's the "knowingly." Without that, the line is still funny, but with it there's just a whole other dimension to the joke. Does that mean Nobby unknowingly changed his underwear?? How does that even work?? I don't want to know, because it's Nobby, but also I can't help speculating. Which just leads to more laughter.

I just. How did he do it? (Terry Pratchett, that is, not Nobby.) How is he so damn funny? Every. Damn. Time??

You ALL be regretting writing, or attempting to write, that book or script about the serial killer.

Prosecutor: “The defendant googled ‘How does a murderer clean up the scene?’ is that not highly suspicious?!”

As with most privacy concerns these days, the issue isn’t so much what it will do to any one specific person, but how it empowers law enforcement to enact wider authoritarian controls on populations using such enformation. More invasive methods of monitoring become more widespread and ubiquitous reprisals.
