Quick question from a newby.

Near the end of "The Fifth Elephant", Vimes rhetorically asks Detritus to kill someone, and Detritus replies "I'm not that fick". Is he saying "I'm not that sick" or "I'm not that thick"? I can't decide.

Definately [i:ac107cffda]thick[/i:ac107cffda].

Edit: And welcome to the boards! :-)

I agree

"Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum of moo. And I am afraid to say that these days all I get is moo."

That would make Richfife into RichThithe...

But yes, Detritus is saying he's not *that* dumb.

Hi,(I too am. . . . a newbie!!! (gasps of shock and horror)). Definately thick, Detritus is saying that he isn't thick enough too follow orders blindly when he knows that they are wrong, unlike whoeveritis - I forget - that Vimes is speaking to at the time.

i think its thick,
