I’ve heard it’s from LOTR but I’m not very into that but want to understand what that foreshadows for this dystopian data grabbing nightmare company

      Hah! Terry Pratchett could have run with that.

      Granny Weatherwax: “What’s wrong with your ball thingie? Looks leaky.”

      Magrat: “Oh! I got it from Boffo Novelty and Joke Shop (No. 4, Tenth Egg Street, Ankh-Morpork). It’s supposed to be a top-of-the-line scrying ball!”

      Weatherwax: “You got swindled you wet hen. That’s a crying ball if I ever sees one.”

      Nanny Oog: “Now Granny, give young Magrat a break. Here honey, have a shot of this. Always puts me right on top of the world! And sometimes on the bottom, which is just as well.”

      Weatherwax: “I can’t be havin’ with you two. Goats need fed.” (jump starts her crappy broom)
