From Koontz's "Bruno"
Bruno's weapon wasn't anything like I'd seen before, but he assured me it was deadly. "It's a Disney .780 Death Hose."
"Disney?"
"Walt Disney. Best armament manufacturers in the world."
"Really?"
"You don't have them here?"
"Mine's a Smith and Wesson," I said.
"The hamburger people?"
I frowned. "What?"
"You know -- the Smith and Wesson golden arches?"
I dropped the subject. There are some pretty weird alternate realities out there.

"You're marvelous," Bruno said.
I turned and looked at him, trying to find sarcasm in that crazy face of his. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. "Marvelous? I'm marvelous? Listen, one guy doesnt tell another guy he's marvelous -- especially not when the two of them are in a bathroom."
