Finally some laughs over Macbeth

Good morning little blog.

It has been quite some time since I posted something this early, but the thing is that I was sitting and reading Shakespeare's play Macbeth just now and the funniest dialogue so far popped up from no where.

From Act 4 Scene 2 (even though I don't really expect anyone to own a Macbeth...haha)
.
Son: Was my father a traitor, mother?
Lady Macduff: Ay, that he was.
Son: What is a traitor?
Lady Macduff: Why, one that swears and lies.
Son: And be all traitors, that do so?
Lady Macduff: Every one that does so is a traitor and must be hanged.
Son: And must they all be hanged that swear and lie?
Lady Macduff: Every one.
Son: Who must hang them?
Lady Macduff: Why, the honest men.
Son: Then the liars and swearers are fools, for there are liars and swearers enough to beat the honest men and hang them up.
Lady Macduff: Now God help thee, poor monkey, but how wilt thou do for a father?
