"In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function...We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." ~C.S. Lewis
I think I'd laugh more if I understood what it meant...
Sally: [singing] I'm Susan the happy trotting elf! I trot and trot and bounce and bounce and smile a lot and that's what counts! I'm Susan the happy trotting smile a lotting elf! I'm polite so just for clarity, when I'm cross I say "Apparently!"

Well, 'da', is yes in Russian. Something a friend wrote to me once, when I told her about my recent lack of sleep due to obsessing about one of the short stories I was writing: "Er, yes - all for the betterment of art, tortured or otherwise".
I'm still trying to figure out if she was being sarcastic or not...
