WWBD

It occurred to me, while reading the end of Part One of Silverlock, where Silverlock, when urged by Golias, reluctantly agrees to help Lucius Jones, but only because he is aware that the hero Beowulf was listening in on the conversation, and he [Silverlock] didn't want to be seen as less willing to risk danger to help someone, that it would be lovely to have a bracelet that reads:

WWBD
What Would Beowulf Do?

I usually explain it as Read This Fine Manual. Being respectable and all.

Ah. I have, therefore, managed to demonstrate perfectly how thin my veneer of respectability is.

A fine manual, indeed.
