"Oh my gods," moaned the Dean, rolling over. "He's doing pressups."

"I certainly wouldn't want anyone to think I'm advocating a return to the bad old days," said the Chair of Indefinite Studies trying to dislodge some sand from his ear. "But once upon a time, w-w… we used to kill wizards like him."

"Yes but we also used to kill wizards like us, Chair," said the Dean.

"Remember what we'd say in those days," said the Senior Wrangler. "Never trust a wizard over sixty-five. Whatever happened?"

"We got past the age of sixty-five, Senior Wrangler."

"Ah yes and it turned out that we were trustworthy after all."

"Good thing we found out in time, eh?"

.......

this is my favorite part of Last Continent so far lmao. The wizard faculty finally addressing how much they would have wanted to kill Ridcully (and each other) in the past.

It's also a great parallel to Ponder Stibbons' earlier frustrated musings about how it's hard to be the young one among the faculty of old wizards.

There’s a certain type of manager who is known by his call of ‘My door is always open’ and it is probably a good idea to beat yourself to death with your own CV rather than work for him. In Ridcully’s case, however, he meant, ‘My door is always open because then, when I’m bored, I can fire my crossbow right across the hall and into the target just above the Bursar’s desk.’

"This doesn't sound like Music With Rocks In," said the Bursar.

"Shut up," said the Dean. He blew his nose.

It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could but you were still alive.

‘This is a lovely party,’ said the Bursar to a chair, ‘I wish I was here.’

garlic bread for everyone!!! can that be a law??

My dear friend, though I understand the appeal let's just casually ignore the fact that I don't know if I have ever had garlic bread at any point in my life of such a law, please be realistic; I don't think we could ever have enough money to provide everybody with garlic bread! Whose pocket would the money to procure such a luxury from? The government's funds, your own money or perhaps are you wishing upon a god to do your bidding?
