Looking for GURPS reptile quote

Alden Loveshade · 01-06-2023, 10:31 AM

There's a quote, with variations in two different GURPS books, that I want and haven't found.

The first I think is something like "You can train a reptile to come for food, and not to bite you most of the time." I think Chris W. McCubbin is either author or co-author of that book, but I'm not positive.

I think in the second book (probably for Fourth Edition, but I'm not sure), there's a slight variation. That's something like "You can train a reptile to come for food, and not to attack you most of the time."

Anybody know where those quotes, especially the second one, are?
