Terry Pratchett Quote

Sometimes the crime follows the punishment, which only serves to prove the foresight of the Great God.That's what my grandmother used to say, said Brutha automatically.Indeed? I would like to know more about this formidable lady.She used to give me a thrashing every morning because I would certainly do something to deserve it during the day, said Brutha.A most complete understanding of the nature of mankind,
