ok this is legitimately hilarious
From Slow Decay, talking about a device that can tune in on people's emotions and potentially let you figure out which girls in a club are looking for a shag:
Owen suddenly perked up. "I could do with one of those."
"You already have one of those," Jack said. "It's called 'common sense'. You ask yourself the question, 'Does she want a shag?' And your common sense chips in with the answer: 'No, of course she doesn't. I'm unshaven and seedy. She would rather stick knitting needles in her eyes.'"
(Owen really is incredibly seedy in this book. Also, quick poll - does Jack whistle [tunes, not wolf-whistling]? Andy Lane claims he doesn't, I disagree.)
