|

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are
|
||||
those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this
|
||||
glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half
|
||||
empty.
|
||||
|
||||
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say:
|
||||
What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I
|
||||
don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been
|
||||
pinching my beer?
|
||||
The world /belongs/, however, to those who can look at the glass and say:
|
||||
What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse /me/? /This/ is my glass?
|
||||
I don't /think/ so. My glass was full! /And/ it was a bigger glass!
|
||||
Who's been pinching my beer?

The world is made up of four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
|

This is a fact well known even to Corporal Nobbs. It's also wrong.
|
||||
There's a fifth element, and generally it's called Surprise.

|

And the rumor came to the ears of William de Worde, and in a sense it
|
||||
stopped there, because he dutifully wrote it down.
|
||||
|
||||
It was his job. Lady Margolotta of Uberwald sent him five dollars a month
|
||||
to do it. The Dowager Duchess of Quirm also sent him five dollars. So
|
||||
did King Verence of Lancre, and a few other Ramtop notables. So did the
|
||||
Seriph of Al-Khali, although in this case the payment was half a cartload
|
||||
of figs, twice a year.
|
||||
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
|
||||
A young man without too many responsibilities could live modestly in
|
||||
Ankh-Morpork on thirty or forty dollars a month; he always sold the figs,
|
||||
because although it was possible to live on figs you soon wished you
|
||||
didn't.

"And these are your reasons, my lord?"
|
||||
|
||||
"Do you think I have others?" said Lord Vetenari. "My motives, as ever,
|
||||
are entirely transparent."
|
||||
|
||||
Hughnon reflected that "entirely transparent" meant either that you could
|
||||
see right through them or couldn't see them at all.

The Firm had, indeed, not operated in Ankh-Morpork before. Mr. Pin had
|
||||
kept away because, well, there were plenty of other cities, and an
|
||||
instinct for survival had told him that the Big Wahooni(1) should wait
|
||||
a while. [...]

(1) The world's rarest and most evil-smelling vegetable, and consequently

much prized by connoisseurs (who seldom prize anything cheap and common).
|

Also a slang term for Ankh-Morpork, although it does not smell as bad as
|
||||
that.

"Good for you!" it said. "You have wisely purchased the Dis-organizer
|

Mk II, the latest in biothaumaturgic design, with a host of useful
|

features and no resemblance whatsoever to the Mk I, which you may have

substituted at any time by coming within five miles of the product or

It looked to Sacharissa that the only tools a dwarf needed was his ax and
|
||||
some means of making fire. That'd eventually get him a forge, and with
|
||||
that he could make simple tools, and with those he could make /complex/
|
||||
tools, and with complex tools a dwarf could more or less make anything.
