Well, he is a dwarf. They tend to hog the credit in situations like that...

In that world...the true heroes are a moth, giant eagles, and one hobbit gardener/cook...so that makes perfect sense!

He is forgetting a dwarf, unless there were two dwarves in the group already.
Then again, I'd want to forget Bombur* too.

**Upon the GM introducing an NPC named Liston Tenngle, pronounced Less-ton Ten-gil.**
My Friend: "What do you get if you kill him? Less than ten gil!"
My friend then literally laughed so hard that he fell out of his chair. The line itself wasn't that funny, but my friend's reaction, and the look of repressed fury on the GM's face, causes the rest of us to crack up as well. The next ten minutes of the session were literally nothing but uncontrollable laughter by everyone except for the very, very annoyed GM. This was not helped by my friend adding a few more comments like:
"He has a brother - Morden Ten Gil! More Den!"
The game never recovered - particularly since Liston was supposed to be a main NPC whose allegiances were in question and who was to be taken very seriously. Instead, whenever he showed up, everyone started giggling.
MONK: I'm going to start wearing daisy dukes!
GM: Then I'm banning high kicks.
MONK: YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR TEABAG STYLE!
Well this got worse... someone discovered strong jaw...

The best debeverage (debeverage being the explosive release of a just taken drink of any liquid) I ever saw was many years ago with my friend Zeke. We were playing Torg, I believe, and someone said something funny and Zeke was doing his best to to hold in the mouthful of Dr. Pepper he'd just taken. I leaned over and whispered, "If you love me you'll swallow". That's all it took and he debeveraged in the most epic fashion I had ever seen before or since.

In our Traveller game, the GM decided to hand out special perks to some. He gave our slum-lord doctor a healing hand and he's this big Russian fellow. Naturally, one female npc was injured in a shoot out, so he went to heal her and I butt in with, "Nice chest injured. Touch boob?" Always have to be polite about your healing hands after all.

Today, during Pathfinder:
Our shaman has a monkey as his spirit animal. It sometimes smokes a pipe. It also likes to pilfer things.
Shaman: "My monkey is probably smoking his pipe and looking up at the stars."
GM: "People walk by and say, 'Hey, that monkey is smoking a pipe!'"
Shaman: "Some people say, 'That pipe is nicer than mine.' Except for one guy - 'Hey, that's my pipe!'"

This technically didn't manage to make the whole table laugh, I don't think, but it was a memorable bon mot nonetheless:
Before my Witch upgraded to a Faerie Dragon, his familiar was a scorpion. Bear in mind that scorpion familiars, like most familiars, are Tiny, which technically means roughly the size of a cat. Point is, one time I used him to deliver my Healing Hex to an injured comrade, so the DM addressed that player and simply explained what was happening:
"Suddenly, a black scorpion the size of a cat brushes against your leg...and somehow, you feel better."

Hey, never look a gift healing scorpion in the mouth...cause if you do, likely, you will get freaked out!

Less of a one liner and more of a rant. We were in the sewers being pursued by Judicators (Inquisitor versions of Judge Dredd) and the DM mentioned gators on the random monster table. SO I go into my best Louisiana accent to rant about "dem gators." This transitioned into a conspiracy theorist Louisiana accent about were-aligator Judicators. Judigators.

This sounds like a good time to bring up my buff/heal focused witch with a rabbit familiar and the Scar hex. This is for PFS, so I play with different people every time. I always ask to let the rabbit bite everyone at the start of the session, to leave a small mark on them that connects us magically (and lets me use the Fortune and Healing hexes on them from up to a mile away).
It's always a fun role play moment, especially if someone brings a superstitious barbarian that's afraid to be bitten by the "cute widdle bunny wabbit".

We had a couple last week, all dealing with a 'Hand of Stone'...
Dwarf: What is that... /eyes mummified dwarf hand
Elf arcanist: That is a magical item... if you wear it you can gain tremorsense for 30'
Dwarf: That... That's RACIST!! Dwarves can't even DO that!!
Which was followed up next rest when he's woken up by a snake man PC asking if he felt a disturbance in the cave...
"I told ya... that's racist, I can't do that.... Ask the elf. He has the hand!"
/Wakes up the Elf
"Did the earth move for you too??"

The shaman wakes up one morning to find that someone or something has shortened his trousers during the night. We are expecting to be fighting some tieflings that day.
Shaman: "Oh well, I'll be ankle deep in tieflings soon."
Wizard: "They're high warrior pants."
GM: "More like high "What are you doing?!" pants."
The warpriest is talking to a paladin who has lost his faith.
Warpriest: "I remind him of the parable of Iomedae and the really tough weekend."
The party was about to get into a fight with a band of orcs and a worg.
Dwarf cleric of Gorum, drawing his sword: "Kneel before the god of war and madness!!" (coincidentally his domains)
Human wizard (me): "You'd be mad not to."
Game stops, GM looks over at me and immediately canonizes the phrase. Good times were had.

At the very beginning of the Mummy's Mask, they were asked to send a representative to the table to collect the location of the site they were visiting. Our snake shaman druid, Edmund Blackadder looks at our archaeologist bard, Ohio Jones and grins.
"We send Monty"
I facepalm. Monty is Edmund's pet python.

Situation:
The baroness gave the PCs the job to investigate a dungeon. They go inside, find a dead wizard and come back out. By that point it's night so they are unsure whether they should wake the baroness and how they should do it...
Player 1: "We could just knock at her door and ask her to come out?"
Player 2: "What are we supposed to do? Throw the body at her feet and say 'Here, we found this'?!"
Player 1: "Why not? We're like cats, really."
===
Player 1: "We need to find out what he was doing there. We should go into the wizard's house..."
Player 2: "...and we might find the wizard's mouse?"
Rest of the group: ????
Player 2: "I dunno, it rhymed."
===
Player 1: "I really need to find out if that ghoul bite infected me. How can I find out?"
Player 2: "Maybe we should go to the temple?"
GM: "You cannot really tell if you have been infected. How should they be able to tell?"
Player 2: "I don't know! Maybe they take a blood sample!"
Player 3: "That won't help. They have to send it off to the lab and that takes at least 14 days."
GM: "THAT'S your reason against his suggestion?!"
(NOTE: I am aware there is the possibility of using a spell to determine this. I rarely use spells from outside the CRB/APG though.)

I don't want to derail this thread, so I will just state my ruling (which my group accepted):
Even though the Heal skill does not explicitly say it can be used to diagnose a disease, I fully agree that it should be able to be used in this manner.
I do not think, however, that you are able to immediatly diagnose if the character is indeed infected. The onset is there for a reason. Taking a real-world example: If I contract the flu I will not notice immediatly but only when the symptoms (=Ability Damage) sets in, maybe a bit sooner.
So the wizard got bitten in the evening. The next afternoon he might start to sweat slightly, maybe he'll get one or two pustules - THAT will be the moment where the Heal check turns from "I dunno, you got bitten, so you might have it" to "Yeaaaah you are infected, dude."
I can see why other people would treat it differently and will not proclaim my ruling is the only possible one. I like the "Oh crap, I might be infected - only way to know for sure is to wait or cast a spell!" factor it brings into the game.
For the interested: He worked under the assumption that he indeed is infected and took precautions (gotten treated by a Healer + drank antiplague).

*half the party drops in a round*
"I'm out of here."
"Hey, hey! We swore we'd never leave a man behind!"
"Yeah. A man. One. Nobody said anything about not leaving three men behind."
*****
A little later...
"It says: '...and perhaps some group of brave men and women will find my notes and carry on my investigation into these misdeeds."
"You know what we have to do."
"Find a group of brave men and women?"
"Exactly."
