Not sure if any here recall H. Beam Piper's books.  He was a trailblazer in science fiction, and was almost as popular as Heinlein at one time.  This site has a sequel download to his most popular work.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Thanks! 

Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen is my absolute favorite alternate world book of all time.

A couple of warnings about the ebooks they are selling.  Almost all of H. Beam Piper's books are out of copyright and can either be obtained for free or for a nominal charge with an interactive appendix.  I think it is worth it to pay a few books for almost everything Piper wrote with an active appendix.  What I bought can be found at:
https://www.amazon.com/H-Beam-Piper-Megapack-Classic-ebook/dp/B00BPZF234/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510707688&sr=8-1&keywords=h+beam+piper&dpID=51m0F9YcugL&preST=_SY445_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

This is $0.99 at Amazon and includes everything he ever wrote except Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen.  That book can be found as part of The Complete Paratime paperback.

Trust me, spend the $1 and get the ebook with the active appendix.
