So I was playing the new RTS/RPG, DnD Dragonshard, and during one of the tutorials, you get a very important document for a very important man, and you can read it. Well, the contents were quite funny:

"It appears to be a document entitled, 'How to Succeed as an NPC':

Rule 1 - Never do anything yourself if it can be avoided. Grow accustomed to asking passers-by for even the smallest favors.

Rule 2 - If there is ever an opportunity to resolve a situation quickly and easily, avoid it at all costs! Don't worry, someone will eventually come along and resolve all your problems for you.

Rule 3 - Whenever you must travel somewhere with an important item of somesort, make sure to insert it only half way into whatever container you are using. This will almost garuntee you will lose it along the way. Rigorous jogging and/or skipping is also recomended.

Rule 4 - Whenever you ask someone to do something for you, be as ambiguous as possible about the reward. That way, you can provide the cheapest possible trinket, and not be held accountable.

The rest of the document is indecipherable, because it is partially chewed and covered in minotaur spittle."

If I find anymore like this in the game i'll be sure to post em here.

Nice one. Ever played the Leisure Suit Larry games, it's full of this kind of humour. Especially when you try to combine 2 objects incorrectly.
