“I’ll kill him!” Said Bug, “Get me poison quarrels and an alley piece and I’ll drill him between the eyes!”
“Bug,” said Locke. “That makes leaping off a temple roof sound reasonable by comparison”

“Eat hemp and shit rope”

“ I have to pay extra because your ass and your brain switched places at birth?”

“You can’t help being young, but it’s past time you stopped being stupid!”
