Men At Arms

Have been reading more Terry Pratchett than is good for me lately. My favourite bit from Men At Arms (part of the City Watch Trilogy omnibus somebody gave me some time ago) happens when Constable Cuddy (a dwarf) and Constable Detritus (a troll) are in an underground sewer when they discover that Ankh-Morpork has been built on an older version of Ankh Mopork:

'In Ankh-Morpork even the shit have a street to itself,' said Detritus, awe and wonder in his voice. 'Truly, this a land of opportunity.'

Genius.
