Funny: Rudyard Kipling
  • Precisely where the Crowning Moment of Funny falls in 'A Code of Morals' depends on the reader.
    • "The General swore. Was ever General Officer addressed as 'dear' before?"
    • And a Crowning Moment of Awesome for General Bangs, who never took revenge on the heliographing Jones: "All honour unto Bangs, for ne'er did Jones thereafter know/ By word or act official who read off that helio."
  • In "The Ballad of Boh Da Thone":
    • A Hindu bureaucrat describes his killing the title character as "by High Education brought pressure to bear." In fact, the obese clerk accidentally fell on top of the poor bandit prince:
    And twenty stone from a height discharged
    Are bad for a Boh with a spleen enlarged.
    • "So you kept that jade earring!"
