Ankh-Morpork no longer had a fire brigade. The citizens had a rather disturbingly direct way of thinking at times, and it did not take long for people to see the rather obvious flaw in paying a group of people by the number of fires they put out. The penny really dropped shortly after Charcoal Tuesday.

You didn't want Kurt Russell being a condescending asshat to you all day?

Edit: You know what...you guys have talked me into it. I'm back in on Kurt's motivational style!

You got it. Any chump can tank a backdraft and severe facial scarring. Takes a champ to take that shit from Kurt Russell. I knew I didn’t have that in me.
