Pratchett
Libo Pratchett chitaet russkie anekdoty, libo cherpaet idei iz togo zhe vozduxa. Ili u menja associacii slishkom burnye.

Iz "Jingo":

- Were you proposing to shoot these people in cold blood, sergeant?
- Nossir. Just a warning shot inna head, sir.

Ottuda zhe, scenka, kogda Nachal'nik Policii Vimes
arestovyvaet v polnom sostave dve armii, soshedshiesja na bitvu.
Nu pravda zhe "prishel lesnik i vsex razognal"?

Byli eshhe primery; vspomnju - dobavlju.

Nu, i prosto citata (iz togo zhe "Jingo"):

"Do you need an excuse to have a war?" said Nobby. "I mean, who for? Can't you just say, 'You got lots of cash and land but I've got a big sword so divvy up right now, chop chop?' That's what I'd do," said Corporal Nobbs, military strategist. "And I wouldn't even say that until after I'd attacked."
