“‘Multiple exclamation marks,’ he went on, shaking his head, ‘are a sure sign of a diseased mind.’(Terry Pratchett in “Eric”)

“Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.” (Terry Pratchett in “Reaper Man”)

“‘And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.’” (Terry Pratchett in “Maskerade”)
