Awww, thanks for bringing that memory back. I miss him as much as Honor. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

I love this one from War of Honor. It is from White Haven in response to a comment of Janacek's: "Do you know," he said in a conversational, almost pleasant tone, "if I hadn't heard it with my own ears I wouldn't have believed it was possible for you to get even stupider."
Cup of tea? Yes, please.

This was very funny moment. I am chuckling it up even now. Thanks for the laugh. Again! Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

This is without a doubt one of the most humorous passagaes. Can't you just see White Haven shaking his head in resignation that the idiot is beyond help? After he got back on balance after  Nice one Greentea. It's not nice to make people split their belly at 3:38 in the morning! But it sure is thoughtful. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

This brings to mind when Honor found out Harkness got married - and who to! |

Kaplan to her XO after listening to Zavala talk to and repeatedly insult the Sollie Governor of Saltash:
"I like a man who is articulate, and I thought throwing that comment about bogie 1's number 14 beta node was a nice touch, too." Mateo to Abbigail: "Do you think you pushed enough buttons there, my Lady?" Ginny on Erewhon after puking on the SL representatives: "Did I miss one?" |

"She's about to die for you, Daddy," Stacey Hauptman said in a voice of iron. "Surely that should be enough even for you!"
