This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Doesn’t something similar to this happen in one of Jack Vance’s stories?

Yep, in The Eyes of the Overworld, we meet Cugel the Clever, literally the prototypical D&D rogue/thief. He steals from a wizard and is banished very far away for it. He eventually gets back to take revenge on the wizard and steps on a trap or something that banishes him even farther away the second time. His journey picks back up in Cugel's Saga, a sequel novel, where he goes on more zany adventures and eventually makes it back again as I recall.
