The place was freshly painted and didn't smell of p**s like the rest of the building. :buggedout: :teddyr: From David Westheimer's Von Ryan's Return: One of the characters has frostbite in his foot and a partisan attends to him: "Dentista." "What does a bloody dentist know about feet?" (Dentist massages foot) "Oh, that's lovely." :teddyr: Title: Re: Your favorite WTF lines in books?

A number of years ago, I was waiting for the local subway, which no longer exists, to downtown, and reading . . . Smith and Rovich's "Enterprise by the Board" . . . and I came upon this WTF moment in the book. "Shoot low, Sheriff." Mayweather said. "The Martians are riding ponies." I don't know why this tickled my funny bone, but I started laughing so hard, I almost fell off of the subway platform onto the tracks below. Fortunately, I was the only one standing on the platform at that time. Title: Re: Your favorite WTF lines in books? Post by: Flangepart on March 10, 2014, 05:42:40 PM Here's my contribution.
