In Case You Missed It On the Daily Snitch...
Fantastic post over on the discworld community:
Now remember what Vimes says in "Men at Arms":
"Something Vimes had learned as a young guard drifted up from memory. If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. The want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They will put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar.
So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word."
Pratchett knows, man.
ETA: And this? (pointed out to me by prettyveela) is seriously THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
