From L. Neill Smith's The Probability Broach:
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."

Here's my contribution.
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.

One of Dave Barry's best lines in DAVE BARRY HITS BELOW THE BELTWAY:
"England was ruled by a bunch of hifalutin' aristocrats who wouldn't know a heifer if they woke up in bed with one . . . which they frequently did."
